Toilet chip repair at your home in Bicton
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Our repair technicians work on vitreous china, cisterns & lids and porcelain, and people most often call us about marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the pan or rim.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

How it works
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes one to two hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

Questions from Bicton
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed price. You are under no obligation.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
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.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
