Toilet chip repair in Shapwick, done in place
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Whether it’s pieces knocked off during fitting and marks on the outside of the pan, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What affects the price in Shapwick
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What we can’t put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

- 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’ll say what we think.

Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why us?
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Rooms protected and left tidy
