About our toilet chip repair in Scotforth
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 the toilet stays in place. We regularly repair pedestals, vitreous china and toilet pans, and the jobs we see most are damage from dropped items and chips on the cistern lid.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Scotforth and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Scotforth

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
What else we do in Scotforth
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
What we can’t put right
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- 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’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Vitreous china
- Porcelain
- Pedestals
- Toilet pans
- Cisterns & lids

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Scotforth. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- One picture of the whole toilet
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your LA1 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Repairing versus replacing in Scotforth
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. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How it works
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for one to two hours. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Ask for a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
