Toilet chip repair at your home in Sholver
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Common call-outs are for damage from dropped items and chips on the cistern lid, on vitreous china, pedestals and toilet pans.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Oldham. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

- Marks on the outside of the pan

- Damage from dropped items
- Pieces knocked off during fitting

What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for one to two hours. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
There are no surprise 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.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the entire toilet
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Sholver, and we will reply with a fixed price.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- 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 photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we work on in Sholver

For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Sholver, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
