Toilet chip repair in and around Cradoc: a fixed quote from photos, a tidy visit and a one-year guarantee.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 usually the cheaper route.
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.
About our toilet chip repair in Cradoc
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. If you’re dealing with chips on the cistern lid and marks on the outside of the pan, we can generally put it right.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Send photos for a quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One picture of the whole toilet
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Most customers in Cradoc get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
When we would advise against a repair
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)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Porcelain
- Cisterns & lids
- Pedestals

Repair or replace in Cradoc?
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. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, 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.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Signs you need toilet chip repair in Cradoc
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly often.
Clients generally contact us about:
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Damage from dropped items

FAQs for Cradoc
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Are there extra charges for Cradoc?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
