Landlord and trade work in Soulby
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
About our toilet chip repair in Soulby
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that is what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We are often asked to fix chips on the pan or rim and marks on the outside of the pan, across porcelain, vitreous china and cisterns & lids.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Soulby as everywhere else we work. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts 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. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire toilet, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Do you need toilet chip repair in Soulby?
Toilets and cisterns typically get chipped during fitting, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids are a common casualty.
Most people contact us after spotting one of these:
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Damage from dropped items
What to look for in a quote
- What preparation is included
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What happens if they find more damage
- How soon you can use it again
Can I fix it myself?
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 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.
Soulby: your questions answered
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Do you work in Soulby?
We do. We send a technician to Soulby for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
