Toilet Chip Repair in Dawpool

Toilet chip repair in Dawpool without replacing anything
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. If you’re dealing with pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the cistern lid, we can typically put it right, on pedestals, vitreous china and toilet pans alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Common problems we fix in Dawpool
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids are a common casualty.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Damage from dropped items
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Chips on the pan or rim

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Can a chipped toilet be fixed?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
What we do, step by step
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes one to two hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Dawpool use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
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.

Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- The type of damage
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the whole toilet
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
When we’d advise against a repair
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Cisterns & lids
- Pedestals
- Toilet pans
