Toilet chip repair in Coton, done in place
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. We work on cisterns & lids, pedestals and porcelain, and common reasons people get in touch are chips on the cistern lid and marks on the outside of the pan.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

What toilet chip repair costs
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
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 price, not an estimate.
Coton questions
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Coton.
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

What else we do in Coton
Landlord and trade work in Coton
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
What we can’t put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We 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 photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Toilet pans
- Vitreous china
- Porcelain
- Cisterns & lids
- Pedestals
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
The process
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the work takes an hour or two. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- The glaze is colour matched and finished.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let us know about parking or access
- Open a window if you can
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
