Toilet chip repair in Blacksmith's Corner, done in place
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. Our repair technicians work on cisterns & lids, porcelain and vitreous china, and people most frequently call us about damage from dropped items and marks on the outside of the pan.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Blacksmith's Corner: your questions answered
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
