How we handle toilet chip repair in Badwell Ash
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that is what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Whether it’s chips on the pan or rim and damage from dropped items, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

- Marks on the outside of the pan
What your quote should include

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Questions from Badwell Ash
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.
Are there extra charges for Badwell Ash?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
What about a leaking crack?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A photo taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
