About our toilet chip repair in Lopen
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. Common call-outs are for chips on the pan or rim and damage from dropped items, in pedestals, cisterns & lids and vitreous china.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Lopen
Do you cover Lopen?
We do. Technicians travel to Lopen from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do you cover the entire of Somerset?
We cover the whole UK, including Lopen and the rest of Somerset. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
