About our toilet chip repair in Platts Common
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. We work on cisterns & lids, toilet pans and porcelain, and people most frequently call us about marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the cistern lid.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Platts Common and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Common problems we fix in Platts Common
Toilets and cisterns normally get chipped during fitting, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly frequently.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Damage from dropped items
- Chips on the pan or rim
Before booking anyone
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Who will actually do the work
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes one to two hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Advice
Platts Common questions
Can you repair a chipped toilet?
Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Barnsley.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Are there extra charges for Platts Common?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire toilet, we can give you a fixed quote.

What a repair can’t fix

- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

- Vitreous china
- Porcelain

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
