Toilet chip repair in Upperthorpe without replacing anything
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Typical jobs include pieces knocked off during fitting and damage from dropped items, in cisterns & lids, porcelain and vitreous china.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- 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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What else we do in Upperthorpe
Landlords, agents and businesses in Upperthorpe
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
What happens on the day
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes one to two hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

What affects the price in Upperthorpe
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: 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.

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole toilet, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Upperthorpe: your questions answered
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Can you repair a chipped toilet?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
