About our toilet chip repair in Shelley
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that is what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. We work on vitreous china, cisterns & lids and porcelain, and the jobs we see most are chips on the cistern lid and chips on the pan or rim.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Shelley
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do you cover Shelley?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Shelley from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Shelley included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes one to two hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

What affects the price in Shelley
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the whole toilet
- Where you are, by postcode
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire toilet, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
When we would advise against a repair
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- 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’ll give you a straight answer.
