Repairing versus replacing in Lofthouse Gate
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Toilet chip repair at your home in Lofthouse Gate
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that is what we find. Typical jobs include chips on the cistern lid and pieces knocked off during fitting, across toilet pans, cisterns & lids and vitreous china.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Landlord and trade work in Lofthouse Gate
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.
What we can’t put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- 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.
Surfaces we repair
- Toilet pans
- Cisterns & lids
- Porcelain
- Pedestals
- Vitreous china
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

What toilet chip repair costs
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
