Toilet chip repair in Lumby without replacing anything
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. We regularly repair porcelain, cisterns & lids and toilet pans, and common reasons people get in touch are marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the cistern lid.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What we cannot put right
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll 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)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Pedestals
- Vitreous china
- Cisterns & lids
- Porcelain
- Toilet pans
Should you replace it?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes an hour or two. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Access to the area
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Lumby
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
What we’re called out for in Lumby

FAQs for Lumby
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do you work in Lumby?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Lumby. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
DIY kit or professional 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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
