About our toilet chip repair in Caldy
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Whether it’s chips on the pan or rim and chips on the cistern lid, we can help, on cisterns & lids, vitreous china and porcelain alike.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Caldy and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Caldy. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the entire toilet
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Caldy, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes one to two hours. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear the area around the damage
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Do you need toilet chip repair in Caldy?
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly often.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Damage from dropped items
What to look for in a quote
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What happens if they find more damage
- How the room is protected while they work
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
