Toilet chip repair in Boldron 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 will say so if we find one. We regularly repair porcelain, pedestals and cisterns & lids, and people most often call us about damage from dropped items and pieces knocked off during fitting.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

FAQs for Boldron
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Repair or replace in Boldron?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for one to two hours. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- The glaze is colour matched and finished.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

What we can’t put right
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we work on in Boldron
- Vitreous china
- Cisterns & lids
- Pedestals
- Porcelain
- Toilet pans
When to call us in Boldron
Toilets and cisterns usually get chipped during fitting, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids are a common casualty.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Damage from dropped items
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Chips on the pan or rim
What your quote should include
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- What aftercare is recommended
- How soon you can use it again
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- How many areas need work
- The material
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
For a price in Boldron, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
