Toilet chip repair at your home in Ranmoor
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. We work on cisterns & lids, porcelain and toilet pans, and the jobs we see most are marks on the outside of the pan and pieces knocked off during fitting.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Ranmoor
Do you work in Ranmoor?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Ranmoor. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
How much does toilet chip repair cost in Ranmoor?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
What affects the price in Ranmoor
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the whole toilet
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Repairing versus replacing in Ranmoor
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
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 is not prepared the repair won’t last.
When to call us in Ranmoor

What we do, step by step
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take an hour or two, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
