Toilet chip repair near Totley Brook

Toilet chip repair in Totley Brook without replacing anything

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. If you are dealing with chips on the cistern lid and damage from dropped items, we can generally put it right, on toilet pans, porcelain and pedestals alike.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

When a repair is not the answer

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • A crack that leaks water
  • A crack through the bowl or trap
  • A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Porcelain
  • Cisterns & lids
  • Vitreous china
  • Pedestals
  • Toilet pans

How we price toilet chip repair

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your S17 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Questions from Totley Brook

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, so Totley Brook is covered. Prices do not change with location.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?

No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

  • Pieces knocked off during fitting
  • Damage from dropped items

Our hiring checklist

How the visit works

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It typically takes one to two hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. The glaze is colour matched and finished.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire toilet, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Should you replace it?

A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why book with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
