Toilet chip repair in Lower Bockhampton, done in place
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. If you are dealing with chips on the pan or rim and damage from dropped items, we can help, on cisterns & lids, pedestals and vitreous china alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Repairing versus replacing in Lower Bockhampton
A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus

When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
