Toilet Chip Repair in Openshaw
We travel to Openshaw for chip and break repairs to toilets, cisterns and other ceramics. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Damage from dropped items
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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently 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.
Toilet chip repair in Openshaw without replacing anything
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Common call-outs are for pieces knocked off during fitting and damage from dropped items, on porcelain, pedestals and vitreous china.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Repairing versus replacing in Openshaw
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Openshaw questions
What areas do you cover?
All of Greater Manchester, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Do you cover Openshaw?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Openshaw and the rest of Greater Manchester. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire toilet and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
When to call us in Openshaw

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes an hour or two. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- The glaze is colour matched and finished.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
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 play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
