Toilet chip repair in Rufforth, done in place
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. We are frequently asked to fix chips on the cistern lid and chips on the pan or rim, on pedestals, porcelain and toilet pans.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Common questions in Rufforth
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.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
What about a leaking crack?
No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t 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 photos and we will say what we think before booking.

How the visit works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take one to two hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
What affects the price in Rufforth
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Rufforth. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the whole toilet
- Where you are, by postcode
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Why us?
- A fixed quote before you book
- No need to remove anything
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
