Toilet chip repair at your home in Elrig
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’ll tell you if that’s what we find. If you are dealing with pieces knocked off during fitting and marks on the outside of the pan, we can help, whatever the material.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Elrig. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed price
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Common problems we fix in Elrig
Toilets and cisterns normally get chipped during fitting, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly often.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Damage from dropped items
Before booking anyone
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How soon you can use it again
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Why book with us
- Everything repaired in place
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- We leave the room as we found it
- Typically one visit, start to finish

What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes an hour or two, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Advice
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Elrig as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
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 pictures, as it can add time.
