About our toilet chip repair in Michaelston-super-Ely
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. Typical jobs include pieces knocked off during fitting and marks on the outside of the pan, in cisterns & lids, toilet pans and vitreous china.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
Michaelston-super-Ely: your questions answered
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- A picture taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole toilet, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
