Repairing versus replacing in Nether Burrow
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Toilet chip repair at your home in Nether Burrow
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, 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. We regularly repair cisterns & lids, toilet pans and vitreous china, and common reasons people get in touch are marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the pan or rim.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
What we’re called out for in Nether Burrow
Toilets and cisterns generally get chipped during fitting, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly frequently.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Damage from dropped items
- Marks on the outside of the pan
Before booking anyone
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How the colour is matched
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes one to two hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

What toilet chip repair costs
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A wider photo showing the whole toilet
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your LA6 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We’d 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)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Cisterns & lids
- Pedestals
- Toilet pans
- Vitreous china

Nether Burrow questions
Can you repair several things at once?

Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
