Toilet chip repair in Nanpantan, done in place
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. If you’re dealing with pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the cistern lid, we can usually put it right, on pedestals, cisterns & lids and porcelain alike.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Nanpantan: your questions answered
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you cover the whole of Leicestershire?
All of Leicestershire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Can you repair a chipped toilet?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A wider photo showing the whole toilet
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
For a price in Nanpantan, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Nanpantan use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Can I fix it myself?
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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes one to two hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
