Toilet chip repair in Plumgarths without replacing anything
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Common call-outs are for chips on the pan or rim and damage from dropped items, on cisterns & lids, vitreous china and toilet pans.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Plumgarths as everywhere else we work. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Plumgarths questions
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Plumgarths included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Repair or replace in Plumgarths?
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. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
When to call us in Plumgarths
Toilets and cisterns typically get chipped during fitting, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly often.
The things customers normally mention when they call include:
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Damage from dropped items
Before you book anyone
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How to look after the finish
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow one to two hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice
What a repair can’t fix
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- 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.
Surfaces we repair
- Pedestals
- Toilet pans
- Porcelain
- Vitreous china
- Cisterns & lids
What affects the price in Plumgarths
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Plumgarths. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A picture taken from further back
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.
