Should you replace it?
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. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Toilet chip repair at your home in Locksbottom
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Whether it’s chips on the cistern lid and pieces knocked off during fitting, we can help, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

The process
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take one to two hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- The glaze is colour matched and finished.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Advice
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What a repair cannot fix
In fairness, some problems need a different 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 photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Porcelain
- Toilet pans
- Cisterns & lids
- Vitreous china
- Pedestals
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Do you need toilet chip repair in Locksbottom?
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids are a common casualty.
People generally call us when they notice something like this:
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Damage from dropped items
- Chips on the pan or rim
Comparing quotes
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How to care for the finish
- When it can be used again
- How your room will be protected
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
