About our toilet chip repair in Draycott
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Common call-outs are for chips on the cistern lid and damage from dropped items, across pedestals, toilet pans and cisterns & lids.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What a repair can’t fix
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t 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 will say what we think.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire toilet, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes one to two hours in most cases. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
