Toilet chip repair at your home in Irlam
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. If you have chips on the pan or rim and chips on the cistern lid, we can help.
Around Irlam, toilets in family bathrooms and cloakrooms see daily use. A chip or crack can usually be repaired in place.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Can I fix it myself?
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.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Irlam, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Common problems we fix in Irlam
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids are a common casualty.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Damage from dropped items
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Chips on the cistern lid
Facilities teams at buildings such as St Teresa's RC Primary School can book us for toilets and washrooms too.

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Irlam
Is it worth repairing old toilets in a period home in Irlam?
Normally, yes. Older toilets are often worth repairing rather than replacing. Photos let us tell you what we’d recommend.
Can you repair toilets at a school or business in Irlam?
Yes. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations and work for schools, leisure centres and businesses. Tell us about access and timings for the building.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
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.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
What toilet chip repair costs
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A photo taken from further back
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole toilet, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Should you replace it?
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. In a town like Irlam, a replacement may not match the rest of the room, whereas repairing keeps the room matching.
Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
