About our toilet chip repair in Garton
A crack that leaks can’t 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 don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Whether it’s chips on the cistern lid and damage from dropped items, we can usually put it right, on vitreous china, cisterns & lids and toilet pans alike.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Should you replace it?
A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

What else we do in Garton
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Garton questions
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
How much does toilet chip repair cost in Garton?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you repair a chipped toilet?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
What about a leaking crack?
No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
