How we handle toilet chip repair in Odd Down
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 the toilet stays in place. Whether it’s damage from dropped items and marks on the outside of the pan, we can generally put it right.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Odd Down and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

How we price toilet chip repair
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Odd Down. The price reflects:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. 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.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the entire toilet
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.
What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow an hour or two.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole toilet, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Advice
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
