About our toilet chip repair in Banknock
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We’re frequently asked to fix marks on the outside of the pan and pieces knocked off during fitting, across cisterns & lids, toilet pans and pedestals.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Banknock use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes an hour or two. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Common questions in Banknock
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, so Banknock is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Upload a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your FK4 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Repairing versus replacing in Banknock
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, 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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
