Related advice
Toilet chip repair in Cloughton, done in place
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. Whether it’s chips on the pan or rim and chips on the cistern lid, we can help, on pedestals, vitreous china and toilet pans alike.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Cloughton: your questions answered
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Do you come to Cloughton?
We do. We send a technician to Cloughton for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What toilet chip repair costs

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
