Toilet chip repair in Coldharbour without replacing anything
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We work on toilet pans, pedestals and porcelain, and people most often call us about damage from dropped items and pieces knocked off during fitting.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Landlord and trade work in Coldharbour
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for one to two hours. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Coldharbour. What changes the price is:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- 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 photos and we will say what we think before you book.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Questions from Coldharbour
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Coldharbour included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do you cover Coldharbour?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Coldharbour for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
