Toilet chip repair in Rawthorpe without replacing anything
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that is what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Common call-outs are for pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the pan or rim, across porcelain, cisterns & lids and toilet pans.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Repairing versus replacing in Rawthorpe
A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. The price 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 quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Rawthorpe questions
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
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 isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
What happens on the day
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take one to two hours, tidy-up included.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
