About our toilet chip repair in Cresswell
Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. Whether it’s pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the pan or rim, we can help, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

- 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 pictures and we’ll say what we think.

How we price toilet chip repair
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the entire toilet
For a price in Cresswell, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
If you manage property in Cresswell, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

Advice
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
