Toilet chip repair in Riverside without replacing anything
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. If you’re dealing with chips on the pan or rim and pieces knocked off during fitting, we can help, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Riverside. What changes the price is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Riverside
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Before you book, it’s worth knowing 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)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Vitreous china
- Pedestals
- Cisterns & lids
- Porcelain
- Toilet pans
Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
How the visit works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes an hour or two. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- The glaze is colour matched and finished.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know about parking or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire toilet, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
