Chip and break repairs to toilets, cisterns and other ceramics for householders, landlords and businesses in Kernick. Send pictures for a free, fixed quote.
- Repairs from £95

Why repair rather than replace?
A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Why Kernick customers choose us
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- No need to remove anything

Toilet chip repair in Kernick, done in place
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. Common call-outs are for marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the pan or rim, across pedestals, toilet pans and porcelain.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Kernick as everywhere else we work. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Common problems we fix in Kernick
Toilets and cisterns normally get chipped during fitting, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly frequently.
Common reasons people in Kernick contact us are:

- Marks on the outside of the pan
