Toilet chip repair in Drayton St Leonard, done in place
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, 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. Our repair technicians work on cisterns & lids, pedestals and porcelain, and common reasons people contact us are pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the pan or rim.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Questions from Drayton St Leonard
What about a leaking crack?
No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire toilet and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What toilet chip repair costs
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the entire toilet
If you’re in Drayton St Leonard and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, a professional repair is worth it.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
