Toilet chip repair in Portway, done in place
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We work on porcelain, cisterns & lids and pedestals, and the jobs we see most are chips on the cistern lid and pieces knocked off during fitting.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair 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)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Pedestals
- Porcelain
- Toilet pans
- Vitreous china

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new toilet means 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. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Why book with us
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Colour-matched on site
- We leave the room as we found it
- Nothing taken out or refitted

FAQs for Portway
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
What about a leaking crack?
No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you need toilet chip repair in Portway?
Toilets and cisterns usually get chipped during fitting, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly frequently.

- Marks on the outside of the pan

- Damage from dropped items
- Chips on the cistern lid
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What aftercare is recommended
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether the price covers travel
What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow one to two hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
How to prepare
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A wider photo showing the whole toilet
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire toilet, we can give you a fixed price.
What else we do in Portway
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Portway
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.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
