Toilet Chip Repair in Friar's Gate
Our repair technicians come to Friar's Gate for chip and break repairs to toilets, cisterns and other ceramics. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Repairs from £95
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Damage from dropped items
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
About our toilet chip repair in Friar's Gate
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. We regularly repair porcelain, vitreous china and toilet pans, and common reasons people get in touch are damage from dropped items and chips on the cistern lid.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Friar's Gate and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take an hour or two. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
