Toilet chip repair at your home in Normanton
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’ll say so if we find one. We regularly repair pedestals, toilet pans and vitreous china, and people most often call us about pieces knocked off during fitting and damage from dropped items.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Normanton and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 will not last.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What toilet chip repair costs
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
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.

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

When a repair is not the answer

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Normanton questions
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can you price it without visiting?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
