Toilet chip repair in Mid Lavant without replacing anything
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. Whether it’s pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the pan or rim, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Mid Lavant questions
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What does toilet chip repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your PO18 postcode.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Are there extra charges for Mid Lavant?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- A wider photo showing the whole toilet
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Repair or replace in Mid Lavant?
A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
