About our toilet chip repair in Monkland
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. If you’re dealing with marks on the outside of the pan and damage from dropped items, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Monkland and across Herefordshire. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What a repair cannot fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- 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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Vitreous china
- Pedestals
- Toilet pans
- Porcelain
- Cisterns & lids
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Questions from Monkland
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What areas do you cover?
All of Herefordshire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
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.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
When to call us in Monkland
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids are a common casualty.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Damage from dropped items
- Marks on the outside of the pan
Questions to ask before you book
- How to look after the finish
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Who will actually do the work
- What protection goes down before work starts
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for an hour or two. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand it 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
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a price
If you’re in Monkland and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Advice
What toilet chip repair costs
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Monkland. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole toilet, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
