Toilet chip repair in Rigside without replacing anything
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. We regularly repair porcelain, toilet pans and cisterns & lids, and common reasons people get in touch are pieces knocked off during fitting and marks on the outside of the pan.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

The process
Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take an hour or two, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know about parking or access
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

FAQs for Rigside
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What does toilet chip repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your ML11 postcode.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can you quote from photos?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
What affects the price in Rigside
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Rigside. The price reflects:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole toilet, we can give you a fixed price.
What a repair can’t fix
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- 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
- Vitreous china
- Porcelain
- Pedestals
- Toilet pans
- Cisterns & lids
Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
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 generally cheaper.

What else we do in Rigside
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
