About our toilet chip repair in Raydon
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Our technicians work on toilet pans, vitreous china and cisterns & lids, and people most often call us about chips on the cistern lid and marks on the outside of the pan.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What affects the price in Raydon
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed price
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
- A photo taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your IP7 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
What we are called out for in Raydon
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly frequently.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Damage from dropped items

Should you replace it?
A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow one to two hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
How to prepare
- Ensure the area is dry
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get a price
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
What a repair can’t fix
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- 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 you book.
Materials we repair
- Vitreous china
- Pedestals
- Cisterns & lids
- Porcelain
- Toilet pans
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

FAQs for Raydon
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the entire UK, including Raydon and the rest of Suffolk. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Do you work in Raydon?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Raydon for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
