Toilet chip repair in Bownham without replacing anything
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. We are often asked to fix marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the cistern lid, across pedestals, toilet pans and cisterns & lids.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What else we do in Bownham
How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the whole toilet
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
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 keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: 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.
Why Bownham clients choose us
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Colour mixed on the day to match

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
FAQs for Bownham
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- 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.
Materials we repair
- Vitreous china
- Cisterns & lids
