Repair or replace: which is better?
A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Toilet chip repair in Eighton Banks, done in place
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 will tell you if that’s what we find. Whether it’s marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the pan or rim, we can help, on cisterns & lids, pedestals and toilet pans alike.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What affects the price in Eighton Banks
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Eighton Banks. The price comes down to:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures

- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
For most jobs, pictures 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.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for one to two hours. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
When we would advise against a repair
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t 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.

Common questions in Eighton Banks
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you work in Eighton Banks?
We do. We send a technician to Eighton Banks for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
