Toilet chip repair in Dawsholm, done in place
Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. We’re often asked to fix chips on the pan or rim and damage from dropped items, across pedestals, cisterns & lids and toilet pans.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.

Advice
FAQs for Dawsholm
What about a leaking crack?
No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
What does toilet chip repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your G20 postcode.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What affects the price in Dawsholm
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
- One picture of the entire toilet
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
If you are in Dawsholm and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
