About our toilet chip repair in Norton Heath
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. If you are dealing with pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the pan or rim, we can help.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Should you replace it?
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. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Toilet pans
- Vitreous china

How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- One picture of the whole toilet
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
- Where you are, by postcode
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’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Common problems we fix in Norton Heath

Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Norton Heath questions
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
What happens on the day
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes an hour or two. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.

- We sand it flush.
- The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
