About our toilet chip repair in Magdalen Laver
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Typical jobs include chips on the pan or rim and pieces knocked off during fitting, in pedestals, porcelain and vitreous china.
Somewhere like Magdalen Laver, you may still have period sanitaryware, and those are worth keeping. We repair around makers’ marks where we can.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What toilet chip repair costs
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- One picture of the whole toilet

- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your CM5 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring all our kit in the van, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take one to two hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there. Somewhere as small as Magdalen Laver, access is typically the main thing to plan. Once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
Repairing versus replacing in Magdalen Laver
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. In an older home in a village like Magdalen Laver, replacing a toilet can be harder than it sounds: original pieces may not match modern sizes, and access can be awkward. Repairing avoids those problems.
Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
What you get with us
