How we handle toilet chip repair in Sandside
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. We regularly repair vitreous china, cisterns & lids and pedestals, and common reasons people contact us are pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the cistern lid.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes an hour or two. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after 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.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
How to prepare

Advice
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why us?
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Questions from Sandside
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
How do I get a price for toilet chip repair in Sandside?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do you work in Sandside?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Sandside. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
What areas do you cover?
The entire UK, including all of Cumbria. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

What else we do in Sandside
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
What we can’t put right
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- 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 booking.
Materials we repair
- Porcelain
- Cisterns & lids
- Pedestals
- Vitreous china
- Toilet pans
How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the whole toilet
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
