About our toilet chip repair in Idmiston
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 will say so if we find one. If you are dealing with marks on the outside of the pan and damage from dropped items, we can generally put it right.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What else we do in Idmiston
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you repair a chipped toilet?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send photos for a quote
Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A photo taken from further back
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. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Landlord and trade work in Idmiston
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
