Toilet chip repair in Sleapshyde without replacing anything
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. We work on porcelain, cisterns & lids and toilet pans, and common reasons people contact us are chips on the pan or rim and marks on the outside of the pan.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

When to call us in Sleapshyde
Toilets and cisterns typically get chipped during fitting, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids are a common casualty.
Contact us if you’ve noticed:
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Damage from dropped items
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Marks on the outside of the pan
Before you book anyone
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How soon you can use it again
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Sleapshyde questions
How do I book?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What does toilet chip repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
What about a leaking crack?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Repairing versus replacing in Sleapshyde
A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Why Sleapshyde customers choose us
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited

- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote

- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
