About our toilet chip repair in Cox Green
A crack that leaks can’t 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 do not need a plumber or a new toilet. We regularly repair porcelain, cisterns & lids and pedestals, and people most often call us about pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the cistern lid.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the whole toilet
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Common problems we fix in Cox Green

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Damage from dropped items
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
What to look for in a quote
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
Repairing versus replacing in Cox Green
A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
