DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
About our toilet chip repair in Michaelston-le-Pit and Leckwith
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Our repair technicians work on toilet pans, vitreous china and porcelain, and the jobs we see most are chips on the cistern lid and damage from dropped items.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
How the visit works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes one to two hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- The glaze is colour matched and finished.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know about parking or access

Questions from Michaelston-le-Pit and Leckwith
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Do you work in Michaelston-le-Pit and Leckwith?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Michaelston-le-Pit and Leckwith from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
