How we handle toilet chip repair in Roydon
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. We are frequently asked to fix marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the pan or rim, across cisterns & lids, porcelain and vitreous china.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Advice
Roydon questions
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of Suffolk. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What a repair cannot fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- 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 photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Cisterns & lids
- Vitreous china
- Toilet pans
- Pedestals
- Porcelain
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 generally the cheaper route.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What else we do in Roydon
Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Roydon, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Suffolk and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
