How we handle toilet chip repair in Ashcombe
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We work on porcelain, cisterns & lids and pedestals, and people most frequently call us about chips on the pan or rim and pieces knocked off during fitting.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Ashcombe
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Do you work in Ashcombe?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Ashcombe. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
What does toilet chip repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your EX7 postcode.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
What happens on the day
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take an hour or two, tidy-up included.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Ashcombe, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What else we do in Ashcombe
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. 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.
