Toilet chip repair in Broad Town without replacing anything
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We work on cisterns & lids, pedestals and toilet pans, and people most frequently call us about marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the cistern lid.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Broad Town as everywhere else we work. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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, a professional repair is worth it.
What a repair cannot fix
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Advice
How we price toilet chip repair
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Broad Town questions
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

What else we do in Broad Town
Repairing versus replacing in Broad Town
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
