Toilet chip repair in Burcott 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. We work on porcelain, toilet pans and pedestals, and common reasons people contact us are marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the pan or rim.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What affects the price in Burcott
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Burcott. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the entire toilet
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your BA5 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
What we can’t put right
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Vitreous china
- Toilet pans
- Porcelain
- Cisterns & lids
- Pedestals

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

- Chips on the pan or rim

Advice
Repairing versus replacing in Burcott
A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Burcott questions
Can you repair a chipped toilet?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Do you come to Burcott?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Burcott. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
What about a leaking crack?
No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
