Toilet & ceramic chip repair in Little Irchester, Northamptonshire
We travel to Little Irchester for chip and break repairs to toilets, cisterns and other ceramics. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One picture of the entire toilet
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
How we handle toilet chip repair in Little Irchester
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that is what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Common call-outs are for pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the pan or rim, in vitreous china, porcelain and toilet pans.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Little Irchester. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Common questions in Little Irchester
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire toilet and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.
How do I get a price for toilet chip repair in Little Irchester?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.
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.

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, then guarantee it for a year.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
When we would advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
If you manage property in Little Irchester, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
The process
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes one to two hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the 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
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
