Toilet chip repair in Kimbolton without replacing anything
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. If you’re dealing with pieces knocked off during fitting and damage from dropped items, we can typically put it right, on porcelain, cisterns & lids and vitreous china alike.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Details of any past repairs
- A picture taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Questions from Kimbolton
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you repair a chipped toilet?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- 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 will say what we think.
Materials we work on in Kimbolton
- Cisterns & lids
- Porcelain
- Toilet pans
- Pedestals
- Vitreous china
Should you replace it?
A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
