About our toilet chip repair in Ambaston
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that is what we find. We work on toilet pans, porcelain and cisterns & lids, and common reasons people get in touch are pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the cistern lid.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Ambaston and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Ambaston: your questions answered
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do you come to Ambaston?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Ambaston from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Are there extra charges for Ambaston?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Ambaston
For anyone letting property in or around Ambaston, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Repairing versus replacing in Ambaston
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. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.
Why us?
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- One price list for the whole UK
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- A year’s guarantee on all work

What toilet chip repair costs
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the entire toilet
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
