Toilet chip repair at your home in Little Canada
Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. Our technicians work on pedestals, toilet pans and porcelain, and the jobs we see most are chips on the pan or rim and pieces knocked off during fitting.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What affects the price in Little Canada
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Little Canada. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Email us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Little Canada, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Common questions in Little Canada
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What about a leaking crack?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Do you work in Little Canada?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Little Canada and the rest of Doncaster. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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.
