How we handle toilet chip repair in Cheselbourne
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. We work on porcelain, cisterns & lids and vitreous china, and people most frequently call us about chips on the cistern lid and marks on the outside of the pan.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Common questions in Cheselbourne
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Do you come to Cheselbourne?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Cheselbourne for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Repairing versus replacing in Cheselbourne
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your photos

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
When we’d advise against a repair
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
