Toilet chip repair at your home in Northbourne
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. We are often asked to fix pieces knocked off during fitting and marks on the outside of the pan, in pedestals, toilet pans and cisterns & lids.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- 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 will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Toilet pans
- Cisterns & lids
- Vitreous china
- Porcelain
- Pedestals
The process
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes one to two hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

What affects the price in Northbourne
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed price
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Why book with us
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
