Toilet chip repair in Lawford, done in place
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. Whether it’s chips on the cistern lid and marks on the outside of the pan, we can usually put it right, on vitreous china, cisterns & lids and pedestals alike.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Lawford and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Common questions in Lawford
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Do you cover the entire of Somerset?
We work UK-wide, so Lawford is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take an hour or two, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

- Point us to the nearest place to park

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lawford as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
How we price toilet chip repair
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Lawford. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Lawford, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
