Toilet chip repair in Carr, done in place
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. We work on pedestals, porcelain and cisterns & lids, and people most often call us about damage from dropped items and marks on the outside of the pan.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new 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. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
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.

What affects the price in Carr
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- A photo taken from further back
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Carr
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
If you manage property in Carr, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- 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 will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Cisterns & lids
- Vitreous china
- Porcelain
- Pedestals
- Toilet pans
The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes one to two hours. We leave the room clean.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- The glaze is colour matched and finished.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know which floor the room is on
