Toilet chip repair in Plaxtol without replacing anything
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that is what we find. Our repair technicians work on pedestals, toilet pans and cisterns & lids, and the jobs we see most are chips on the cistern lid and pieces knocked off during fitting.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Plaxtol as everywhere else we work. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Plaxtol
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Plaxtol, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new 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. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

Surfaces we repair

For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
