Toilet chip repair in Ablington without replacing anything
Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. We work on toilet pans, cisterns & lids and porcelain, and the jobs we see most are damage from dropped items and pieces knocked off during fitting.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Wiltshire. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, then guarantee it for a year.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

How we price toilet chip repair
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Landlord and trade work in Ablington
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
