Toilet chip repair in Ganavan, done in place
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Common call-outs are for damage from dropped items and marks on the outside of the pan, in porcelain, cisterns & lids and toilet pans.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Ganavan: your questions answered
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
What about a leaking crack?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
Common problems we fix in Ganavan

What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- 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 before booking.

Landlord and trade work in Ganavan
If you manage property in Ganavan, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
- How many areas need work
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the whole toilet
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
