About our toilet chip repair in New Mills
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. Typical jobs include damage from dropped items and pieces knocked off during fitting, in vitreous china, pedestals and cisterns & lids.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Derbyshire. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Repair or replace in New Mills?
A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Landlords, agents and businesses in New Mills
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
The process
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It generally takes one to two hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Open a window if you can
Getting a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot 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 pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Cisterns & lids
- Pedestals
- Porcelain
- Vitreous china
- Toilet pans
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your photos
Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire toilet, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Common questions in New Mills
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
What areas do you cover?
The entire UK, including all of Derbyshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
