Toilet chip repair in Capel St Mary without replacing anything
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Typical jobs include damage from dropped items and chips on the cistern lid, across toilet pans, porcelain and vitreous china.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Repairing versus replacing in Capel St Mary
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material

Questions from Capel St Mary
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
What about a leaking crack?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Capel St Mary
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
