Toilet & ceramic chip repair in Piddington, Northamptonshire
Toilet chip repair in Piddington without the cost of replacing. Send us photos for a fixed quote, then we come to you.
- Repairs from £95
- Damage from dropped items
- Marks on the outside of the pan
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Toilet chip repair at your home in Piddington
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Our repair technicians work on porcelain, vitreous china and pedestals, and the jobs we see most are chips on the cistern lid and pieces knocked off during fitting.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. 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.

Questions from Piddington
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Are there extra charges for Piddington?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do you cover the whole of Northamptonshire?
The entire UK, including all of Northamptonshire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
How we price toilet chip repair
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
