Toilet chip repair in Grimeston without replacing anything
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. Whether it’s chips on the cistern lid and marks on the outside of the pan, we can help.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Grimeston and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Landlord and trade work in Grimeston
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Repair or replace in Grimeston?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Why us?
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- We leave the room as we found it
- One price list for the whole UK

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.
Common problems we fix in Grimeston
Toilets and cisterns normally get chipped during fitting, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly frequently.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Damage from dropped items
What to look for in a quote
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- When it can be used again
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
What a repair can’t fix
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Grimeston questions
Are there extra charges for Grimeston?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Do you come to Grimeston?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Grimeston from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand it flush.
