Toilet chip repair in Lathbury without replacing anything
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Whether it’s damage from dropped items and pieces knocked off during fitting, we can generally put it right.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

FAQs for Lathbury
Can you repair a chipped toilet?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole toilet, we can give you a fixed price.

Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Repair or replace in Lathbury?
A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Lathbury. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
