Toilet chip repair in Knightsmill without replacing anything
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. We are frequently asked to fix pieces knocked off during fitting and damage from dropped items, on porcelain, cisterns & lids and pedestals.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
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)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Pedestals
- Porcelain
- Toilet pans
- Vitreous china
- Cisterns & lids
What we do, step by step
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes one to two hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Knightsmill. What changes the price is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your PL30 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Knightsmill: your questions answered
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
How do I get a price for toilet chip repair in Knightsmill?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Are there extra charges for Knightsmill?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Common problems we fix in Knightsmill
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids are a common casualty.
Contact us if you’ve noticed:
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
Questions to ask before booking
- What protection goes down before work starts
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Aftercare advice
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Knightsmill. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
