For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Shephall as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Toilet chip repair in Shephall without replacing anything
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. If you’re dealing with pieces knocked off during fitting and damage from dropped items, we can help, whatever the material.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Common questions in Shephall
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
What does toilet chip repair cost?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow an hour or two. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let us know about parking or access
Ask for a price
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new 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. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
What you get with us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Most jobs done in one visit

What else we do in Shephall
What we’re called out for in Shephall
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly frequently.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
What to look for in a quote
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How the colour is matched
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
How we price toilet chip repair
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Shephall. The price reflects:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically 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.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the whole toilet
- Something in shot to show the size
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole toilet, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
What we cannot put right
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We 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)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
