Toilet chip repair in Laira, done in place
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. We regularly repair toilet pans, cisterns & lids and pedestals, and people most frequently call us about pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the pan or rim.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
- The material
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the whole toilet
Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Laira, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Laira
- Pedestals
- Porcelain
- Toilet pans
- Cisterns & lids
- Vitreous china
Repair or replace in Laira?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Why us?
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- One-year guarantee on every repair

Related advice
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
