Toilet chip repair at your home in Preston
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. Whether it’s chips on the cistern lid and pieces knocked off during fitting, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Can I fix it myself?
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, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes one to two hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire toilet, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

What affects the price in Preston
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:
- A picture taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
