Toilet chip repair in Gulberwick without replacing anything
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Whether it’s marks on the outside of the pan and damage from dropped items, we can help.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Gulberwick: your questions answered
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Do you cover Gulberwick?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Gulberwick. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
When a repair is not the answer
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- 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 photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Around Gulberwick

Should you replace it?
A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the whole toilet
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes one to two hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Keep a parking space free if you can
