Toilet chip repair at your home in Low Gate
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. We work on porcelain, vitreous china and toilet pans, and people most often call us about pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the cistern lid.
In and around Low Gate, older homes can have toilets that are hard to replace like for like. A repair keeps everything matching.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Landlord and trade work in Low Gate
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Low Gate as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.
Should you replace it?
A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Older homes around Low Gate may have sizes and fittings that new pieces do not match. Repairing avoids those problems.
Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
What you get with us
- Fixed quotes from pictures
- Colour-matched on site
- Nothing taken out or refitted

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
