How we handle toilet chip repair in Pemberton
Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. We work on toilet pans, porcelain and cisterns & lids, and people most often call us about pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the pan or rim.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Pemberton questions
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
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.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 often lifts.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Pemberton
If you manage property in Pemberton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
- Where you are, by postcode
- A photo taken from further back
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes one to two hours in most cases. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
