Toilet chip repair in Ellel without replacing anything
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. We work on pedestals, vitreous china and cisterns & lids, and the jobs we see most are marks on the outside of the pan and damage from dropped items.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Landlord and trade work in Ellel
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ellel use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
How it works
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.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
We price from photos 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.

What affects the price in Ellel
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- The material, if you know it
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Common problems we fix in Ellel
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly frequently.
The things clients generally mention when they call are:
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Marks on the outside of the pan
Questions to ask before booking
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How soon you can use it again
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Aftercare advice
What a repair can’t fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’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)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Toilet pans
- Pedestals
- Porcelain
- Vitreous china
- Cisterns & lids
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
