Toilet chip repair at your home in Baintown
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. We work on porcelain, vitreous china and cisterns & lids, and people most frequently call us about chips on the cistern lid and pieces knocked off during fitting.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Baintown: your questions answered
What about a leaking crack?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Are there extra charges for Baintown?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
How it works
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for an hour or two from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- The glaze is colour matched and finished.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What toilet chip repair costs
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Baintown. What changes the price is:
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Send pictures for a quote
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the whole toilet
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
