Toilet chip repair in Cotterstock 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. Our repair technicians work on pedestals, toilet pans and porcelain, and the jobs we see most are damage from dropped items and pieces knocked off during fitting.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

- Marks on the outside of the pan

Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Landlord and trade work in Cotterstock
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cotterstock as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
If you manage property in Cotterstock, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the whole toilet
- One sharp close-up of the damage
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes an hour or two, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.

Advice
Cotterstock: your questions answered
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What a repair can’t fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Pedestals
- Toilet pans
