Toilet chip repair in Scriven without replacing anything
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. If you’re dealing with chips on the cistern lid and chips on the pan or rim, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Scriven and across North Yorkshire. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

When we’d advise against a repair

- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

- We match the colour to the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Scriven use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
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.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole toilet, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

FAQs for Scriven
Do you cover Scriven?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Scriven from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
