Toilet chip repair in Bridge, done in place
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. Whether it’s marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the cistern lid, we can help, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Repairing versus replacing in Bridge
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Bridge questions
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do you come to Bridge?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Bridge. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What happens after I send photos?
You will get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can you repair a chipped toilet?
Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

What toilet chip repair costs
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the entire toilet
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
For a price in Bridge, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Common problems we fix in Bridge

Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
