Repair or replace: which is better?
A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

How we handle toilet chip repair in Waterfall
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. If you are dealing with chips on the pan or rim and chips on the cistern lid, we can help.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Waterfall and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
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.
Questions from Waterfall
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
Do you cover Waterfall?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Waterfall and the rest of Staffordshire. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Are there extra charges for Waterfall?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
What about a leaking crack?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
Do you need toilet chip repair in Waterfall?
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids are a common casualty.
Look out for these signs:
- Damage from dropped items
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Marks on the outside of the pan
What to look for in a quote
- How the colour is matched
- Who will actually do the work
- How your room will be protected
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes an hour or two. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Open a window if you can
Getting a price
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
Advice
What affects the price in Waterfall
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Waterfall. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Staffordshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
