Toilet chip repair in Burgh Castle without replacing anything
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. We’re frequently asked to fix damage from dropped items and pieces knocked off during fitting, in pedestals, vitreous china and cisterns & lids.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

When we’d advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- 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.
Materials we repair
- Toilet pans
- Cisterns & lids
- Pedestals
- Vitreous china
- Porcelain
Why repair rather than replace?
A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

What affects the price in Burgh Castle
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A photo taken from further back

- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.

Burgh Castle questions
What about a leaking crack?
No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
