Advice
How we handle toilet chip repair in Milverton
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 you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. If you are dealing with pieces knocked off during fitting and marks on the outside of the pan, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Somerset. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What we’re called out for in Milverton
Toilets and cisterns typically get chipped during fitting, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly often.
Look out for any of the following:
- Damage from dropped items
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
Questions to ask before you book
- How changes to the job are handled
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether the price covers travel
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Why repair rather than replace?
A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Landlord and trade work in Milverton
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Somerset and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
What affects the price in Milverton
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the entire toilet
- Natural light rather than flash
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
What we cannot put right
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Pedestals
- Toilet pans
- Vitreous china
- Cisterns & lids
- Porcelain
