Toilet chip repair in Laxdale, done in place
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. Typical jobs include damage from dropped items and marks on the outside of the pan, on vitreous china, porcelain and pedestals.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

When we’d advise against a repair

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
What else we do in Laxdale
How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow one to two hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- 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.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

For landlords and businesses
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Laxdale use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
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 play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
- A photo taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip 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, the material 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.
Why us?
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- We leave the room as we found it
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Work done at your home or business
