Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Toilet chip repair in Merry Lees, done in place
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Whether it’s marks on the outside of the pan and damage from dropped items, we can help, whatever the material.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Merry Lees and across Leicestershire. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Merry Lees
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
What we’re called out for in Merry Lees
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids are a common casualty.
People normally call us when they notice something like this:
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
What to look for in a quote
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What preparation is included
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
What affects the price in Merry Lees
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the whole toilet
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
