Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Toilet chip repair in Gaddesby without replacing anything
Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. If you have chips on the pan or rim and marks on the outside of the pan, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
In and around Gaddesby, older homes can have toilets that are hard to replace like for like. Repairing it keeps the bathroom as it is.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Related advice
Signs you need toilet chip repair in Gaddesby
Toilets and cisterns generally get chipped during fitting, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids are a common casualty.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Damage from dropped items
- Chips on the pan or rim
We also work for schools, leisure centres and businesses, so if you look after a building such as Gaddesby Primary School, toilets and washrooms can be repaired in place too.
Questions to ask before you book
- How to care for the finish
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How the room is protected while they work
Should you replace it?
A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Older homes around Gaddesby may have sizes and fittings that new pieces don’t match. Repairing avoids those problems.
Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
