Repairing versus replacing in Hindley Green
A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Toilet chip repair at your home in Hindley Green
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. We regularly repair vitreous china, porcelain and pedestals, and common reasons people get in touch are chips on the pan or rim and damage from dropped items.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
If you’re in Hindley Green and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
How it works
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes one to two hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure 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.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents frequently send us pictures 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.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
