Toilet chip repair in Gibraltar without replacing anything
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. Common call-outs are for chips on the cistern lid and marks on the outside of the pan, in porcelain, cisterns & lids and toilet pans.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
For anyone letting property in or around Gibraltar, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
When to call us in Gibraltar
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly frequently.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Damage from dropped items
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Chips on the pan or rim
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Whether they match the colour on site
Honest limits
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll 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 photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Vitreous china
- Toilet pans
- Porcelain
- Cisterns & lids
- Pedestals
Repairing versus replacing in Gibraltar
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Advice
Common questions in Gibraltar
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Buckinghamshire.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What does toilet chip repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, and that includes Gibraltar. Prices don’t change with location.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

What else we do in Gibraltar
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed quote
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the whole toilet
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire toilet, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
