Toilet chip repair at your home in Ballingdon Bottom
Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. Whether it’s chips on the pan or rim and marks on the outside of the pan, we can usually 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 use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Ballingdon Bottom: your questions answered
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price, generally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can you repair a chipped toilet?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Do you work in Ballingdon Bottom?
We do. We send a technician to Ballingdon Bottom for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

What toilet chip repair costs
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes one to two hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Ask for a price
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Advice
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- 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 will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Pedestals
- Cisterns & lids
- Vitreous china
- Porcelain
- Toilet pans
Common problems we fix in Ballingdon Bottom
Toilets and cisterns usually get chipped during fitting, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly frequently.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Damage from dropped items
- Chips on the cistern lid

Should you replace it?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Ballingdon Bottom, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ballingdon Bottom as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
