Toilet chip repair at your home in Deeping St James
Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. We regularly repair pedestals, vitreous china and toilet pans, and people most often call us about pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the cistern lid.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Lincolnshire. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

The process
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for an hour or two from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- The glaze is colour matched and finished.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
When we’d advise against a repair
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)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

- Cisterns & lids

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not 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 sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
