Toilet chip repair in Abington without replacing anything
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. We regularly repair porcelain, toilet pans and vitreous china, and common reasons people contact us are damage from dropped items and marks on the outside of the pan.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Common questions in Abington
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Can you quote from pictures?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What does toilet chip repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you repair a chipped toilet?
Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Repairing versus replacing in Abington
A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why us?
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- We leave the room as we found it

When a repair isn’t the answer
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- 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.
Materials we repair
- Cisterns & lids
- Vitreous china
