DIY kit or professional repair?
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 usually cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Toilet chip repair at your home in North Cove
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. If you are dealing with marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the pan or rim, we can help, on toilet pans, pedestals and cisterns & lids alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Questions from North Cove
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Do you cover the whole of Suffolk?
Everywhere in the UK, North Cove included. There is no extra charge for travel.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Advice
Why repair rather than replace?
A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to North Cove. The price comes down to:

- How many areas need work
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
