Toilet chip repair in Middleton without replacing anything
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that is what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Typical jobs include marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the cistern lid, in porcelain, pedestals and cisterns & lids.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Northamptonshire. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Repair or replace in Middleton?
A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes an hour or two. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Advice
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
If you are in Middleton and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Common questions in Middleton
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Are there extra charges for Middleton?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Do you work in Middleton?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Middleton. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
