How we handle toilet chip repair in Mochrum
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. We work on toilet pans, porcelain and vitreous china, and common reasons people contact us are marks on the outside of the pan and damage from dropped items.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Mochrum: your questions answered
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote, typically with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
How do I get a price for toilet chip repair in Mochrum?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Mochrum
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Mochrum use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes an hour or two, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
Preparing for the visit

- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Ensure the area is dry
Getting a price

Common problems we fix in Mochrum
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids are a common casualty.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Damage from dropped items
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Marks on the outside of the pan
What your quote should include
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What protection goes down before work starts
- When it can be used again
- What aftercare is recommended
When we’d advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t 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)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we work on in Mochrum
- Toilet pans
- Vitreous china
- Cisterns & lids
- Porcelain
- Pedestals
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

What affects the price in Mochrum
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the whole toilet
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Mochrum, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a 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. 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.
