Toilet & ceramic chip repair in Poulton, Liverpool
We travel to Poulton for chip and break repairs to toilets, cisterns and other ceramics. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Marks on the outside of the pan
How we handle toilet chip repair in Poulton
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. Our repair technicians work on cisterns & lids, vitreous china and pedestals, and common reasons people contact us are marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the pan or rim.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Poulton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Liverpool and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Honest limits
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- 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’ll say what we think before booking.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send pictures for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the whole toilet
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 price.
Poulton: your questions answered
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can you repair a chipped toilet?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Do you work in Poulton?
We do. Technicians travel to Poulton from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a 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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
