Do you need toilet chip repair in Crostwick?
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids are a common casualty.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Damage from dropped items
Questions to ask before booking
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether the price covers travel
- How the colour is matched
How we handle toilet chip repair in Crostwick
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. We are often asked to fix pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the cistern lid, across pedestals, cisterns & lids and vitreous china.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Crostwick questions
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the entire toilet
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes one to two hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Getting a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
