Toilet chip repair in Coldred without replacing anything
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Typical jobs include chips on the cistern lid and marks on the outside of the pan, in pedestals, cisterns & lids and porcelain.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What else we do in Coldred
What toilet chip repair costs
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole toilet, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Repair or replace in Coldred?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
FAQs for Coldred
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
