About our toilet chip repair in Kirkby
Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. Common call-outs are for chips on the pan or rim and pieces knocked off during fitting, in porcelain, pedestals and toilet pans.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.
Do you need toilet chip repair in Kirkby?
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids are a common casualty.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Damage from dropped items
- Pieces knocked off during fitting

Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the whole toilet
- Details of any past repairs
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole toilet, we can price the job.
Common questions in Kirkby
What about a leaking crack?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Advice
Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Kirkby, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kirkby use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Why book with us
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- One visit for most repairs
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- One-year guarantee on every repair
