Advice
How we handle toilet chip repair in Plantation Bridge
Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. We’re often asked to fix marks on the outside of the pan and damage from dropped items, on pedestals, toilet pans and cisterns & lids.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What affects the price in Plantation Bridge
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Plantation Bridge. The price comes down to:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the whole toilet
- Where you are, by postcode
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Questions from Plantation Bridge
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
What happens after I send photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, so Plantation Bridge is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Do you hold any accreditations?
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?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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, then guarantee it for a year.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Honest limits
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- 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.
Surfaces we repair
- Toilet pans
- Pedestals
- Vitreous china
- Porcelain
- Cisterns & lids
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
