Repair or replace: which is better?

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How we handle toilet chip repair in Bankfoot
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. We are often asked to fix pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the pan or rim, on toilet pans, pedestals and vitreous china.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Bankfoot as everywhere else we work. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What toilet chip repair costs
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the entire toilet
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

Common questions in Bankfoot
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Bankfoot.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes an hour or two, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

What else we do in Bankfoot
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
