About our toilet chip repair in Kirk Hammerton
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. If you are dealing with marks on the outside of the pan and damage from dropped items, we can help, whatever the material.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether we combine several jobs

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.

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take one to two hours, tidy-up included.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
FAQs for Kirk Hammerton
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you cover Kirk Hammerton?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Kirk Hammerton for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
