Toilet chip repair in Ernesettle without replacing anything
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll 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. Our technicians work on vitreous china, pedestals and porcelain, and common reasons people get in touch are chips on the cistern lid and damage from dropped items.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Landlord and trade work in Ernesettle
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Send pictures for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the whole toilet
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Questions from Ernesettle
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed price. You are under no obligation.
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.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for an hour or two. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- The glaze is colour matched and finished.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Related advice
When a repair isn’t the answer
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- 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 pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Toilet pans
- Vitreous china
- Pedestals
- Cisterns & lids
- Porcelain
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.
Why us?
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- One visit for most repairs
- No need to remove anything
- We leave the room as we found it
