About our toilet chip repair in Oldham
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Typical jobs include marks on the outside of the pan and pieces knocked off during fitting, on cisterns & lids, pedestals and toilet pans.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Oldham. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

FAQs for Oldham
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote. You are under no obligation.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
- A picture taken from further back
- Any details about the material
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

When we’d advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on
- Pedestals
- Porcelain
- Cisterns & lids
- Vitreous china
- Toilet pans
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new 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. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
What you get with us
- Most jobs done in one visit
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- We leave the room as we found it
- Fixed prices from your pictures

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What we’re called out for in Oldham
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly often.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Damage from dropped items
Before booking anyone
- What aftercare is recommended
- What prep work is covered
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
