How we handle toilet chip repair in Shepton Montague

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. Our technicians work on porcelain, vitreous china and cisterns & lids, and the jobs we see most are damage from dropped items and pieces knocked off during fitting.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Shepton Montague. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Shepton Montague as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Should you replace it?

A new 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. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

What you get with us

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Generally one visit, start to finish

When we would advise against a repair

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • 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 will say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Porcelain
  • Pedestals
  • Cisterns & lids
  • Toilet pans
  • Vitreous china

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes one to two hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Ask for a price
