About our toilet chip repair in Bicknor
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 tell you if that is what we find. We work on vitreous china, porcelain and pedestals, and common reasons people get in touch are chips on the cistern lid and pieces knocked off during fitting.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

How we price toilet chip repair
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- One picture of the entire toilet
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
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.
Bicknor: your questions answered
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Repairing versus replacing in Bicknor
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
