Toilet chip repair at your home in Shelley
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Typical jobs include damage from dropped items and chips on the cistern lid, on cisterns & lids, toilet pans and vitreous china.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

When a repair is not the answer
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Pedestals
- Toilet pans
- Vitreous china
- Cisterns & lids

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Shelley use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
For anyone letting property in or around Shelley, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
Repairing versus replacing in Shelley
A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

How we price toilet chip repair
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the whole toilet
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
