Toilet chip repair in Swinton without replacing anything
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We regularly repair vitreous china, cisterns & lids and pedestals, and common reasons people get in touch are chips on the pan or rim and chips on the cistern lid.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we would 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)
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What affects the price in Swinton
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Swinton, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new 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. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
