Toilet chip repair in Mid Yell without replacing anything
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. We regularly repair cisterns & lids, pedestals and toilet pans, and common reasons people contact us are chips on the cistern lid and chips on the pan or rim.
Somewhere like Mid Yell, an older toilet can be hard to match if replaced. Repairing it keeps the bathroom as it is.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Repair or replace in Mid Yell?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. For a rural home like those around Mid Yell, a replacement means trades travelling out and waste being taken away, while a repair is a single visit.
Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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.
