Toilet chip repair in Knapton, 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. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. Our repair technicians work on vitreous china, toilet pans and porcelain, and common reasons people get in touch are chips on the pan or rim and marks on the outside of the pan.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What we’re called out for in Knapton
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids are a common casualty.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Damage from dropped items
- Chips on the pan or rim
What to look for in a quote
- Aftercare advice
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
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
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the entire toilet
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- 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 pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Knapton
- Porcelain
- Cisterns & lids
- 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. A repair leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
