About our toilet chip repair in Bridge End
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. We regularly repair vitreous china, pedestals and cisterns & lids, and people most frequently call us about damage from dropped items and pieces knocked off during fitting.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Bridge End. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the entire toilet
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole toilet, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Your questions about toilet chip repair in Bridge End
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole toilet and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
