Common questions in Millholme
What does toilet chip repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
What about a leaking crack?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
How we handle toilet chip repair in Millholme
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. We regularly repair cisterns & lids, vitreous china and pedestals, and people most frequently call us about chips on the cistern lid and marks on the outside of the pan.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take one to two hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Signs you need toilet chip repair in Millholme
Toilets and cisterns generally get chipped during fitting, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly often.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Damage from dropped items
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Marks on the outside of the pan
Before booking anyone
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How the colour is matched
- When it can be used again
- How the room is protected while they work
What a repair can’t fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Vitreous china
- Porcelain
- Pedestals
- Cisterns & lids
- Toilet pans
How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the whole toilet
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Millholme, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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 won’t last.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
