Toilet chip repair at your home in Overton
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. Our repair technicians work on toilet pans, porcelain and cisterns & lids, and the jobs we see most are chips on the cistern lid and pieces knocked off during fitting.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow one to two hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Signs you need toilet chip repair in Overton
Toilets and cisterns usually get chipped during fitting, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids are a common casualty.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Chips on the cistern lid
Before you book anyone
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether they match the colour on site
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your pictures
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the entire toilet
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
If you’re in Overton and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
