Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the entire toilet
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
About our toilet chip repair in Lathom
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. We regularly repair vitreous china, pedestals and cisterns & lids, and common reasons people get in touch are chips on the pan or rim and marks on the outside of the pan.
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.

Should you replace it?
A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Questions from Lathom
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
Do you cover the entire of Lancashire?
The whole UK, including all of Lancashire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Lathom.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Honest limits
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Vitreous china
- Pedestals
- Cisterns & lids
- Porcelain
- Toilet pans
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes one to two hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know which floor the room is on

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’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
Nearby places to Lathom
Also in Lathom
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Lancashire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Do you need toilet chip repair in Lathom?
Toilets and cisterns typically get chipped during fitting, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids are a common casualty.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Damage from dropped items
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
Comparing quotes
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- How the room is protected while they work
- What prep work is covered
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
