Toilet chip repair in Holy Island, done in place
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. Typical jobs include marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the pan or rim, in vitreous china, pedestals and porcelain.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Questions from Holy Island
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
What affects the price in Holy Island
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Holy Island, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What else we do in Holy Island
When to call us in Holy Island
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids are a common casualty.

What we cannot put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- 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’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Cisterns & lids
- Porcelain
- Pedestals
- Vitreous china
- Toilet pans
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
