Toilet chip repair at your home in Cresswell
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 will tell you if that is what we find. We work on vitreous china, cisterns & lids and porcelain, and people most frequently call us about chips on the cistern lid and chips on the pan or rim.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Most clients in Cresswell get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Landlord and trade work in Cresswell
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cresswell as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes an hour or two for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
How to get a price

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
