Toilet chip repair at your home in Pickwell
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Typical jobs include damage from dropped items and pieces knocked off during fitting, across cisterns & lids, pedestals and porcelain.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Pickwell and across Leicestershire. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Common questions in Pickwell
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
What about a leaking crack?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can you repair a chipped toilet?
Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
What areas do you cover?
All of Leicestershire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
How to prepare

Advice
Repair or replace in Pickwell?
A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. 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.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
