Toilet chip repair at your home in Belses
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 will say so if we find one. Typical jobs include pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the cistern lid, in pedestals, toilet pans and vitreous china.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

FAQs for Belses
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
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.

Repairing versus replacing in Belses
A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Advice
How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
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
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A photo taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
When a repair is not the answer
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we work on in Belses
- Toilet pans
- Vitreous china

- Porcelain
- Cisterns & lids
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 is not prepared the repair won’t last.
