Toilet chip repair at your home in Dandy Corner
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Typical jobs include chips on the cistern lid and marks on the outside of the pan, in toilet pans, vitreous china and cisterns & lids.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Suffolk and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

What affects the price in Dandy Corner
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Dandy Corner. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Dandy Corner. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Common problems we fix in Dandy Corner
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids are a common casualty.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Damage from dropped items
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Chips on the pan or rim

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes an hour or two for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Getting a price
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Dandy Corner: your questions answered
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can you repair a chipped toilet?
Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Do you cover the whole of Suffolk?
Across the UK, so Dandy Corner is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
When we’d advise against a repair
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- 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 before booking.
Materials we repair
- Pedestals
- Porcelain
- Cisterns & lids
- Toilet pans
- Vitreous china
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
