When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we work on

Toilet chip repair at your home in Bowthorpe
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. Common call-outs are for chips on the pan or rim and damage from dropped items, in cisterns & lids, pedestals and vitreous china.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Questions from Bowthorpe
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you work in Bowthorpe?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Bowthorpe for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Can you quote from photos?
Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
What toilet chip repair costs
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Bowthorpe. The price comes down to:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
- The material
- The type of damage
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the whole toilet
- Details of any past repairs
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire toilet, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
