Toilet chip repair in Lawnswood, done in place
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. We work on cisterns & lids, porcelain and pedestals, and people most often call us about damage from dropped items and chips on the cistern lid.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

How we price toilet chip repair
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send photos for a quote
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the entire toilet
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
What a repair cannot fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Vitreous china
- Cisterns & lids
- Toilet pans
- Pedestals
- Porcelain
The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to one to two hours, tidy-up included.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the area is dry
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Common questions in Lawnswood
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Leeds, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Do you come to Lawnswood?
We do. We send a technician to Lawnswood for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
What about a leaking crack?
No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Should you replace it?
A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lawnswood use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
