Toilet chip repair in Bimbister without replacing anything
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, 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, in pedestals, porcelain and cisterns & lids.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed price
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A photo taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Bimbister. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why book with us
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Common questions in Bimbister
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole toilet and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
What happens after I send photos?
You will get a fixed quote back, typically with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.
When to call us in Bimbister
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly often.
People generally call us after spotting one of these:
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Damage from dropped items
- Chips on the cistern lid
What your quote should include
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How your room will be protected
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
How the visit works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to an hour or two.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
When we would advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
