DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Toilet chip repair in Golden Cross without replacing anything

A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that is what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Our repair technicians work on toilet pans, porcelain and cisterns & lids, and the jobs we see most are damage from dropped items and pieces knocked off during fitting.

Somewhere like Golden Cross, an older toilet can be hard to match if replaced. Repairing it keeps the bathroom as it is.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes an hour or two for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used. In a village or hamlet like Golden Cross, access can be the only tricky part. Once we’re there, the toilet chip repair works exactly as anywhere else.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

What toilet chip repair costs

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Golden Cross. What changes the price is:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Golden Cross. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A photo taken from further back

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new 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. In an older home in a village like Golden Cross, replacing a toilet can be harder than it sounds: original pieces may not match modern sizes, and access can be awkward. A repair keeps the original.

Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why book with us

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

10 questions to ask before booking

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, 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.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
