How we handle toilet chip repair in Lakeside
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. We regularly repair cisterns & lids, vitreous china and toilet pans, and people most often call us about chips on the pan or rim and damage from dropped items.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Questions from Lakeside
What about a leaking crack?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
Do you work in Lakeside?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Lakeside for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What does toilet chip repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Common problems we fix in Lakeside
Toilets and cisterns typically get chipped during fitting, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly often.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Damage from dropped items
- Chips on the cistern lid
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Who will actually do the work
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
What affects the price in Lakeside
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
- How many areas need work
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
If you’re in Lakeside and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Why us?
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Everything repaired in place
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- A fixed quote before you book

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes an hour or two for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Open a window if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
