How we handle toilet chip repair in Scraptoft
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that’s 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 regularly repair porcelain, pedestals and toilet pans, and the jobs we see most are marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the cistern lid.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Scraptoft and across Leicestershire. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What affects the price in Scraptoft
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.
What a repair can’t fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair 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 pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Cisterns & lids
- Vitreous china
- Toilet pans
- Pedestals

Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Scraptoft
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
FAQs for Scraptoft
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you come to Scraptoft?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Scraptoft. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Repairing versus replacing in Scraptoft
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
