Toilet chip repair in Cummertrees 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. We are often asked to fix chips on the cistern lid and pieces knocked off during fitting, on toilet pans, porcelain and vitreous china.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Cummertrees as everywhere else we work. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Landlord and trade work in Cummertrees
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Honest limits
Before booking, it’s worth knowing 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 will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Porcelain
- Pedestals
- Cisterns & lids
- Toilet pans
- Vitreous china
How the visit works
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow one to two hours from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Related advice
How we price toilet chip repair
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
- Where you are, by postcode
- Something in shot to show the size
If you are in Cummertrees and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
