Toilet chip repair at your home in Shelfanger
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that is what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We’re often asked to fix pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the pan or rim, on cisterns & lids, vitreous china and porcelain.
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.

Repairing versus replacing in Shelfanger
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Shelfanger. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
How the visit works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes an hour or two for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Make sure the area is dry
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price
Email us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Shelfanger, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Advice
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Shelfanger use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Shelfanger questions
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Do you come to Shelfanger?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Shelfanger from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
What toilet chip repair costs
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire toilet, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
