Toilet chip repair in Strensall, done in place
Chips are rebuilt and colour matched 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 cisterns & lids, pedestals and porcelain, and people most frequently call us about marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the pan or rim.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in York. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Common problems we fix in Strensall
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids are a common casualty.
Clients generally contact us about:
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Damage from dropped items
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Marks on the outside of the pan
Questions to ask before booking

Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Strensall use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Questions from Strensall
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What about a leaking crack?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
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.
Do you come to Strensall?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Strensall for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Should you replace it?
A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
What you get with us
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- One price list for the whole UK
- Colour-matched on site
- Typically one visit, start to finish
See our prices page.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. 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)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Strensall

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Strensall. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
How the visit works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to an hour or two.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- The glaze is colour matched and finished.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Point us to the nearest place to park
