Toilet chip repair in Drumsturdy without replacing anything
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that is what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. If you are dealing with damage from dropped items and pieces knocked off during fitting, we can normally put it right.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
Preparing for the visit

For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
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 keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
