Toilet chip repair in Heslington, done in place
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. Our technicians work on vitreous china, cisterns & lids and pedestals, and people most often call us about damage from dropped items and chips on the pan or rim.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Heslington
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you repair a chipped toilet?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of York. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Cisterns & lids
- Porcelain
- Vitreous china
- Toilet pans
