Toilet chip repair at your home in Ash Cross
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that is what we find. We work on pedestals, toilet pans and vitreous china, and the jobs we see most are pieces knocked off during fitting and marks on the outside of the pan.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Common questions in Ash Cross
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
What we can’t put right
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- 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 photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What toilet chip repair costs
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Ash Cross. The price reflects:
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A picture taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole toilet, we can price the job without visiting.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How the visit works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes one to two hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
