Toilet chip repair at your home in Ebchester
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that is what we find. Our technicians work on cisterns & lids, vitreous china and toilet pans, and common reasons people get in touch are damage from dropped items and chips on the pan or rim.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

How it works
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It generally takes an hour or two, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- The glaze is colour matched and finished.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Advice
What affects the price in Ebchester
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the entire toilet
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- 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 photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Cisterns & lids
- Vitreous china
- Porcelain
- Pedestals
- Toilet pans
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Landlord and trade work in Ebchester
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
