How we handle toilet chip repair in Nythe
A crack that leaks can’t 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. Our repair technicians work on toilet pans, porcelain and vitreous china, and common reasons people get in touch are chips on the pan or rim and damage from dropped items.
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.

Repairing versus replacing in Nythe
Replacing a 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. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Common questions in Nythe
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Nythe.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

How we price toilet chip repair
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Nythe. The price comes down to:
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- One picture of the entire toilet
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any details about the material
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 we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Swindon and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Common problems we fix in Nythe
Toilets and cisterns generally get chipped during fitting, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids are a common casualty.

- Chips on the cistern lid
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Pieces knocked off during fitting

- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What aftercare is recommended
- Who will actually do the work
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes an hour or two. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- The glaze is colour matched and finished.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
