Toilet chip repair in Holcombe without replacing anything
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. Whether it’s pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the pan or rim, we can usually put it right, on pedestals, cisterns & lids and porcelain alike.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Holcombe, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
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 is not prepared the repair won’t last.
How it works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to one to two hours.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
How to get a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

How we price toilet chip repair
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Holcombe. The price comes down to:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
- What kind of damage it is
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Holcombe, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Common questions in Holcombe
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
How do I book?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
What we cannot put right
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Toilet pans
- Vitreous china
- Cisterns & lids
