Toilet chip repair in Shilton without replacing anything
Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. If you’re dealing with marks on the outside of the pan and damage from dropped items, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes one to two hours in most cases. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Your questions about toilet chip repair in Shilton
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Are there extra charges for Shilton?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Should you replace it?
A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Why us?
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Most jobs done in one visit
- One-year guarantee on every repair

What else we do in Shilton
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Common problems we fix in Shilton
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids are a common casualty.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Marks on the outside of the pan
What to look for in a quote
- When it can be used again
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- How your room will be protected
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, 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)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Porcelain
- Pedestals
- Vitreous china
