Toilet chip repair in Haroldswick without replacing anything
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. Whether it’s damage from dropped items and chips on the pan or rim, we can help, on cisterns & lids, porcelain and toilet pans alike.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.
Questions from Haroldswick
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Haroldswick
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Haroldswick as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Haroldswick. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. 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.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- A picture taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
If you are in Haroldswick and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
