Toilet chip repair in Cotman's Ash without replacing anything

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. We are often asked to fix damage from dropped items and marks on the outside of the pan, on cisterns & lids, porcelain and vitreous china.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What we can’t put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Cotman's Ash

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Cotman's Ash: your questions answered

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you cover Cotman's Ash?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Cotman's Ash. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?

No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Are there extra charges for Cotman's Ash?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

Can a chipped toilet be fixed?

Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.

How it works

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes an hour or two, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. The glaze is colour matched and finished.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Cotman's Ash. The price depends on:

  • The material
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How to get a fixed price

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the entire toilet
  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

If you’re in Cotman's Ash and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Common problems we fix in Cotman's Ash

Toilets and cisterns generally get chipped during fitting, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly frequently.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Chips on the cistern lid
  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Pieces knocked off during fitting
  • Damage from dropped items

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How long it needs to cure

10 questions to ask before you book

Why repair rather than replace?

A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why book with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
