Toilet chip repair in Creeting St Mary without replacing anything
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. Common call-outs are for chips on the cistern lid and chips on the pan or rim, on pedestals, toilet pans and cisterns & lids.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

For landlords and businesses
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.
For anyone letting property in or around Creeting St Mary, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work takes one to two hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.

- We sand the repair level.
- We match the colour to the glaze.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
- What kind of damage it is
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Repair or replace in Creeting St Mary?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Creeting St Mary. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Can I fix it myself?
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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
