About our toilet chip repair in Brean
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We work on vitreous china, cisterns & lids and porcelain, and common reasons people contact us are chips on the cistern lid and chips on the pan or rim.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Common questions in Brean
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed price. There’s no obligation to book.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Repair or replace in Brean?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
If you are 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.
What we do, step by step
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take one to two hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
How to get a price

Advice
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
