Toilet chip repair at your home in Shaw Mills
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. Whether it’s chips on the pan or rim and marks on the outside of the pan, we can help.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in North Yorkshire. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What else we do in Shaw Mills
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
