Toilet chip repair in Goon Gumpas without replacing anything
Chips are rebuilt and colour matched 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 is what we find. Typical jobs include chips on the cistern lid and damage from dropped items, on cisterns & lids, vitreous china and porcelain.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Signs you need toilet chip repair in Goon Gumpas
Toilets and cisterns typically get chipped during fitting, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly frequently.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Damage from dropped items
- Marks on the outside of the pan
Questions to ask before booking
- How your room will be protected
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What aftercare is recommended
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
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 often lifts.

- Toilet pans
- Cisterns & lids
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Why us?

Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Goon Gumpas as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
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.
How it works
We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes an hour or two, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Make sure the area is dry
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
