Toilet chip repair in Pittendreich, done in place
Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. We regularly repair cisterns & lids, vitreous china and porcelain, and the jobs we see most are marks on the outside of the pan and damage from dropped items.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Related advice
What a repair cannot fix
We won’t take on work that won’t 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)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on

- Vitreous china
- Toilet pans
- Pedestals
- Cisterns & lids
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. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good.

For landlords and businesses
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What toilet chip repair costs
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A picture taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
For a price in Pittendreich, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
