About our toilet chip repair in East Bowling
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. Our technicians work on pedestals, vitreous china and cisterns & lids, and people most frequently call us about marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the cistern lid.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

FAQs for East Bowling
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Do you come to East Bowling?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to East Bowling. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What about a leaking crack?
No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Repairing versus replacing in East Bowling
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to East Bowling. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A picture taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
