When to call us in Hillsborough
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly frequently.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Damage from dropped items
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Chips on the pan or rim
Rented homes near Sheffield station (about 2.9 miles south-east) change hands frequently, and repairing toilets between tenants is quicker than replacing them.

Toilet chip repair in Hillsborough without replacing anything
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’s what we find. We work on toilet pans, vitreous china and cisterns & lids, and people most often call us about chips on the pan or rim and chips on the cistern lid.
For a place like Hillsborough, toilet chip repair is normally done in a few hours, with the toilet left in place.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Hillsborough, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Hillsborough questions
Can you restore the original toilets in an older house in Hillsborough?
Typically: original pieces are frequently better made and harder to replace. We’ll give you an honest view from photos.
Do you work for landlords with property near Sheffield station?
Yes, we frequently work between tenancies, and we can quote for several properties together.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole toilet and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- 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 will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Toilet pans
- Pedestals
- Vitreous china
- Porcelain
- Cisterns & lids
How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Hillsborough. What changes the price is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A photo taken from further back
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. For a home around Hillsborough where the toilet is sound, replacing it is rarely worth the cost and disruption.
Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why book with us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- One visit for most repairs

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
