Toilet chip repair in Old Somerby without replacing anything
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 don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Common call-outs are for pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the cistern lid, in pedestals, toilet pans and cisterns & lids.
Rural addresses like Old Somerby just need a little planning, and we’ll plan the visit around it.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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, and the work is guaranteed.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Repair or replace in Old Somerby?
A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Replacement in Old Somerby means trades, travel and waste removal, while a repair is a single visit.
Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Old Somerby. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- 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’ll tell you honestly.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes an hour or two, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together. Somewhere as small as Old Somerby, access is usually the main thing to plan. Once we’re there, the toilet chip repair works exactly as anywhere else.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- The glaze is colour matched and finished.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
How to prepare

- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Keep a parking space clear if you can
