- Chips on the cistern lid
- Damage from dropped items
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Toilet chip repair in Hemington, done in place
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. We are often asked to fix chips on the pan or rim and chips on the cistern lid, on porcelain, vitreous china and pedestals.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Hemington
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can you repair a chipped toilet?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole toilet and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- 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.
What we work on

- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Damage from dropped items
What to look for in a quote
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Who turns up on the day
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
The process
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes an hour or two, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
