Toilet & ceramic chip repair in Bangor, North Down

- Repairs from £95
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
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.
Toilet chip repair in Bangor without replacing anything
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. If you’re dealing with chips on the cistern lid and chips on the pan or rim, we can help, on pedestals, vitreous china and porcelain alike.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Should you replace it?
A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

What toilet chip repair costs
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Bangor. The price comes down to:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Bangor
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price. You are under no obligation.
Do you cover Bangor?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Bangor from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
