Toilet chip repair at your home in Leycett
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Typical jobs include pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the pan or rim, in porcelain, vitreous china and toilet pans.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Staffordshire. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Leycett. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

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, then guarantee it for a year.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
When a repair is not the answer
To be straight with you, 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)
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Common questions in Leycett
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the entire toilet
For a price in Leycett, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
