Chip and break repairs to toilets, cisterns and other ceramics at your home in Boulton, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Damage from dropped items
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Toilet chip repair in Boulton, done in place
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. If you are dealing with damage from dropped items and chips on the cistern lid, we can help, on toilet pans, pedestals and cisterns & lids alike.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

The process
We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes an hour or two, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- The glaze is colour matched and finished.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice
What affects the price in Boulton
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- The material
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Questions from Boulton
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can you repair a chipped toilet?
Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
