DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Toilet chip repair at your home in Yarnacott
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Typical jobs include damage from dropped items and pieces knocked off during fitting, in pedestals, vitreous china and toilet pans.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

The process
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It normally takes an hour or two, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

FAQs for Yarnacott
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Are there extra charges for Yarnacott?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Yarnacott. The price comes down to:
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the entire toilet
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
For a price in Yarnacott, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
