Toilet chip repair in Heaton Norris without replacing anything
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. We work on pedestals, toilet pans and cisterns & lids, and people most often call us about chips on the cistern lid and chips on the pan or rim.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Repairing versus replacing in Heaton Norris
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What toilet chip repair costs
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Heaton Norris. The price comes down to:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Heaton Norris: your questions answered
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide. Prices don’t change with location.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What we are called out for in Heaton Norris
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly often.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Damage from dropped items
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Chips on the cistern lid
Comparing quotes
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Who will actually do the work
- How soon you can use it again
- What preparation is included
What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Cisterns & lids
- Pedestals
- Toilet pans
- Porcelain

Landlords, agents and businesses in Heaton Norris
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
How the visit works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take an hour or two, tidy-up included.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.
