Toilet chip repair at your home in Cothelstone
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We regularly repair vitreous china, toilet pans and cisterns & lids, and people most frequently call us about marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the cistern lid.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Somerset. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A wider photo showing the entire toilet
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
What happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes one to two hours in most cases. We leave the room clean.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- The glaze is colour matched and finished.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let us know about parking or access
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
Advice

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
