Toilet chip repair in Old Cleeve, done in place

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that is what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We work on porcelain, pedestals and cisterns & lids, and people most often call us about chips on the pan or rim and marks on the outside of the pan.

Every job is backed for twelve months. 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.

How it works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take one to two hours, tidy-up included.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire toilet, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Honest limits

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • 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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Old Cleeve. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Read our prices page.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Old Cleeve. The price reflects:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your photos

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A wider photo showing the whole toilet

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

FAQs for Old Cleeve

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What information do you need?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

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.

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
