Toilet chip repair in Charlestown without replacing anything
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We regularly repair toilet pans, pedestals and porcelain, and people most often call us about marks on the outside of the pan and pieces knocked off during fitting.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Related advice
When to call us in Charlestown
Toilets and cisterns generally get chipped during fitting, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids are a common casualty.
Clients typically contact us about:
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Marks on the outside of the pan
Questions to ask before you book
- What prep work is covered
- Who will actually do the work
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
What we can’t put right
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t 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
- Vitreous china
- Porcelain
- Cisterns & lids
- Toilet pans
- Pedestals
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Charlestown use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
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.
What toilet chip repair costs
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A picture taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire toilet, we can price the job.
