Toilet chip repair in Ranby, done in place
A crack that leaks can’t 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 you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. If you’re dealing with marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the pan or rim, we can help.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Ranby as everywhere else we work. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Ranby, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ranby use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- 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 pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Cisterns & lids
- Pedestals
- Porcelain
- Toilet pans
- Vitreous china
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A picture taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
Most customers in Ranby get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for an hour or two from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- The glaze is colour matched and finished.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole toilet, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Related advice
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. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
What you get with us
