We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. Whether it’s pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the pan or rim, we can help.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Repair or replace in Thornton-le-Moors?
Replacing a toilet needs 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. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Common questions in Thornton-le-Moors
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
What we can’t put right
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- 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.
Materials we repair
- Cisterns & lids
- Pedestals
- Toilet pans
- Vitreous china
- Porcelain
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
