About our toilet chip repair in Northam
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. We work on cisterns & lids, vitreous china and porcelain, and common reasons people get in touch are damage from dropped items and marks on the outside of the pan.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

How the visit works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes one to two hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- The glaze is colour matched and finished.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Signs you need toilet chip repair in Northam
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly frequently.
The things customers normally mention when they call are:
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Damage from dropped items
Questions to ask before you book
- What protection goes down before work starts
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Toilet pans
- Pedestals
- Vitreous china
- Porcelain
- Cisterns & lids
Why repair rather than replace?
A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Why us?

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Northam. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the entire toilet
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Northam questions
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What about a leaking crack?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
How do I get a price for toilet chip repair in Northam?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
