Toilet chip repair in Candlesby without replacing anything
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that is what we find. We are frequently asked to fix chips on the pan or rim and marks on the outside of the pan, on porcelain, toilet pans and pedestals.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Candlesby questions
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What we do, step by step
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It normally takes an hour or two, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Getting a price
Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your PE23 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Other services in Candlesby
Landlord and trade work in Candlesby
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. 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 make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
