For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Knowle St Giles as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Toilet chip repair in Knowle St Giles without replacing anything
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We regularly repair toilet pans, cisterns & lids and vitreous china, and the jobs we see most are pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the cistern lid.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What toilet chip repair costs
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
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.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your TA20 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
