Toilet chip repair in Canwick without replacing anything
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Our technicians work on toilet pans, cisterns & lids and pedestals, and the jobs we see most are damage from dropped items and marks on the outside of the pan.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Can I fix it myself?
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.
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.
Do you need toilet chip repair in Canwick?

What affects the price in Canwick
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Canwick. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

What else we do in Canwick
Canwick: your questions answered
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, so Canwick is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
Do you come to Canwick?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Canwick from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
How the visit works
Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes an hour or two for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have a window or extractor fan available
How to get a price
Upload pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Canwick, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
