Toilet Chip Repair for Sandbank homes
We travel to Sandbank for chip and break repairs to toilets, cisterns and other ceramics. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Chips on the cistern lid
Toilet chip repair at your home in Sandbank
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched 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. Common call-outs are for pieces knocked off during fitting and marks on the outside of the pan, across toilet pans, pedestals and cisterns & lids.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

How we price toilet chip repair
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
How it works
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes an hour or two, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

What else we do in Sandbank
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
When a repair is not the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- 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 photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Pedestals
- Vitreous china
- Cisterns & lids
- Porcelain
- Toilet pans
Repairing versus replacing in Sandbank
A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
What you get with us
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Work done at your home or business
- Fixed prices from your photos
