About our toilet chip repair in Overton
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Whether it’s chips on the cistern lid and chips on the pan or rim, we can help, whatever the material.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Overton
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Wakefield and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Questions from Overton
Do you come to Overton?
We do. Technicians travel to Overton from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, so Overton is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- 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 photos and we will say what we think before booking.

How we price toilet chip repair
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the entire toilet
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Repairing versus replacing in Overton
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. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
