- 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 photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Pedestals
- Vitreous china
- Porcelain
- Toilet pans
- Cisterns & lids
About our toilet chip repair in Heddle
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that is what we find. Typical jobs include marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the cistern lid, in toilet pans, porcelain and vitreous china.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Repairing versus replacing in Heddle
A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Why book with us
- Usually one visit, start to finish
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Heddle: your questions answered
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
How do I get a price for toilet chip repair in Heddle?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
What about a leaking crack?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
How it works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes one to two hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Get a quote
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole toilet, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
