Repairing versus replacing in Salcott-cum-Virley
A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. 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.

Advice
What toilet chip repair costs
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Salcott-cum-Virley questions
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
What about a leaking crack?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.
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 doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
