How we handle toilet chip repair in Stony Houghton
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We regularly repair vitreous china, toilet pans and cisterns & lids, and the jobs we see most are marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the cistern lid.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Stony Houghton: your questions answered
What does toilet chip repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed quote. You’re under no obligation.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Repair or replace in Stony Houghton?
A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 frequently lifts.
The process
Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes an hour or two, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- The glaze is colour matched and finished.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Ask for a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What affects the price in Stony Houghton
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Stony Houghton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

- One sharp close-up of the damage
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Stony Houghton
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.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Nottinghamshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
