Toilet chip repair in Nether Headon, done in place
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Typical jobs include marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the pan or rim, across toilet pans, pedestals and vitreous china.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

How we price toilet chip repair
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
We do not add 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.
Send photos for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
- One picture of the whole toilet
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Nether Headon, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Nether Headon questions
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote. There is no obligation to book.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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, a professional repair is worth it.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Nottinghamshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
