Toilet chip repair in Red Hill, done in place
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. We work on porcelain, vitreous china and cisterns & lids, and common reasons people contact us are pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the cistern lid.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Repairing versus replacing in Red Hill
A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Do you come to Red Hill?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Red Hill and the rest of Nottingham. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Are there extra charges for Red Hill?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
What about a leaking crack?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we would 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)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
