Advice
Toilet chip repair in North Petherton, done in place
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. Typical jobs include damage from dropped items and pieces knocked off during fitting, across toilet pans, cisterns & lids and porcelain.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
For anyone letting property in or around North Petherton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
What affects the price in North Petherton
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The type of damage
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for North Petherton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A picture taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
Upload a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in North Petherton, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
