Toilet chip repair at your home in Stanley Gate
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. Typical jobs include chips on the pan or rim and chips on the cistern lid, across pedestals, porcelain and vitreous china.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Stanley Gate questions
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Stanley Gate.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you repair a chipped toilet?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
Do you cover the entire of Lancashire?
Everywhere in the UK, Stanley Gate included. Travel is included in the price.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
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.

Advice
What toilet chip repair costs
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Stanley Gate. The price comes down to:
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
