About our toilet chip repair in Northmoor
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Whether it’s pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the cistern lid, we can help.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Repairing versus replacing in Northmoor
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Related advice
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Northmoor use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
What affects the price in Northmoor
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the entire toilet
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Northmoor questions
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Are there extra charges for Northmoor?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
