Toilet chip repair in Shearston, done in place
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that is what we find. Typical jobs include pieces knocked off during fitting and damage from dropped items, across vitreous china, toilet pans and cisterns & lids.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Shearston and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Shearston
Do you cover the entire of Somerset?
Across the UK, so Shearston is covered. Prices do not change with location.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
What happens after I send photos?
You will get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
How do I get a price for toilet chip repair in Shearston?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
What about a leaking crack?
No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
What we’re called out for in Shearston

Advice
Should you replace it?
A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What a repair can’t fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
