DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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.
Toilet chip repair in The Calders without replacing anything
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. Typical jobs include chips on the cistern lid and damage from dropped items, in vitreous china, pedestals and cisterns & lids.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

For landlords and businesses

What affects the price in The Calders
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How many areas need work
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the entire toilet
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
The Calders: your questions answered
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
What about a leaking crack?
No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you repair a chipped toilet?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts 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.

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes one to two hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Getting a price
