Related advice
Toilet chip repair at your home in Leicester
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. We regularly repair cisterns & lids, vitreous china and porcelain, and the jobs we see most are pieces knocked off during fitting and damage from dropped items.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Leicester as everywhere else we work. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- 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 pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Leicester. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What else we do in Leicester
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Leicester as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
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.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
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 pictures, as it can add time.
