Toilet chip repair in Bretton without replacing anything
Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. Typical jobs include damage from dropped items and chips on the pan or rim, in toilet pans, porcelain and vitreous china.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Lincolnshire. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Bretton: your questions answered
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Do you come to Bretton?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Bretton for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes one to two hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know about parking or access
- Open a window if you can
Ask for a price
Upload a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Bretton, and we will reply with a fixed price.

What toilet chip repair costs
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Repair or replace in Bretton?
A new toilet means 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. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
