Common questions in High Cross
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What about a leaking crack?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
How do I get a price for toilet chip repair in High Cross?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your LE17 postcode.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Toilet chip repair at your home in High Cross
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’ll tell you if that is what we find. We work on toilet pans, cisterns & lids and pedestals, and the jobs we see most are chips on the cistern lid and damage from dropped items.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in High Cross and across Leicestershire. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What affects the price in High Cross
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole toilet, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Repair or replace in High Cross?
A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

When a repair is not the answer

For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which typically takes one to two hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Ask for a price

Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
