Toilet chip repair in Gallowstree Common, done in place
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, 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. We work on vitreous china, porcelain and pedestals, and common reasons people contact us are damage from dropped items and chips on the cistern lid.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What toilet chip repair costs
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Gallowstree Common. The price comes down to:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your RG4 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow one to two hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- The glaze is colour matched and finished.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

How to get a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Common questions in Gallowstree Common
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
How do I get a price for toilet chip repair in Gallowstree Common?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your RG4 postcode.
What about a leaking crack?
No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Gallowstree Common
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Gallowstree Common use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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.
Honest limits
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- 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 photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Vitreous china
- Pedestals
- Cisterns & lids
- Toilet pans
- Porcelain
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
