Toilet Chip Repair in East Taphouse

How we handle toilet chip repair in East Taphouse
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. If you are dealing with chips on the cistern lid and damage from dropped items, we can typically put it right, on cisterns & lids, porcelain and pedestals alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- 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 before you book.

The process
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes an hour or two, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- The glaze is colour matched and finished.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Getting a price
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your PL14 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

How we price toilet chip repair
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
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.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the whole toilet
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Questions from East Taphouse
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.
What does toilet chip repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of Cornwall. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Repairing versus replacing in East Taphouse
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for East Taphouse. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
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.
