About our toilet chip repair in Appleby Parva
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Typical jobs include chips on the cistern lid and marks on the outside of the pan, across porcelain, cisterns & lids and pedestals.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Should you replace it?
A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

- Damage from dropped items
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
Questions to ask before you book
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- When it can be used again
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What affects the price in Appleby Parva
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. 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 pictures
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the entire toilet
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
