Should you replace it?
A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Boddam. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
What you get with us
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- One-year guarantee on every repair

Toilet chip repair in Boddam, done in place
Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. If you’re dealing with marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the cistern lid, we can usually put it right, on pedestals, toilet pans and cisterns & lids alike.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

How the visit works
We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes one to two hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
How to prepare

What we’re called out for in Boddam
Toilets and cisterns normally get chipped during fitting, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly frequently.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Marks on the outside of the pan
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What protection goes down before work starts
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Boddam. The price comes down to:
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
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.
Quotes from your photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
