Toilet chip repair in Runcorn without replacing anything
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Our repair technicians work on cisterns & lids, pedestals and toilet pans, and the jobs we see most are chips on the cistern lid and marks on the outside of the pan.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Runcorn as everywhere else we work. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Runcorn
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Runcorn as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Questions from Runcorn
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Why repair rather than replace?
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. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

- Straight answers about what a repair can do
