Common questions in Ab Kettleby
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you repair a chipped toilet?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Toilet chip repair in Ab Kettleby, done in place
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that is what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Typical jobs include chips on the pan or rim and chips on the cistern lid, on cisterns & lids, porcelain and vitreous china.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Toilet pans
- Porcelain
- Vitreous china
- Cisterns & lids
- Pedestals
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What happens on the day
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to one to two hours.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Open a window if you can
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

What toilet chip repair costs
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
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 play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- One picture of the whole toilet
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
For a price in Ab Kettleby, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Should you replace it?

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
