Blackbank questions
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire toilet and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Do you work in Blackbank?
We do. We send a technician to Blackbank for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Toilet chip repair at your home in Blackbank
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. If you are dealing with chips on the cistern lid and marks on the outside of the pan, we can help.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Blackbank
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Should you replace it?
A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What else we do in Blackbank
What we are called out for in Blackbank
Toilets and cisterns usually get chipped during fitting, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids are a common casualty.
People normally call us after spotting one of these:
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Damage from dropped items
- Marks on the outside of the pan
Questions to ask before booking
- How your room will be protected
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether they match the colour on site
The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes an hour or two. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Advice
What toilet chip repair costs
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Blackbank. The price depends on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
