About our toilet chip repair in Shipley Bridge
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. Our technicians work on toilet pans, pedestals and vitreous china, and common reasons people contact us are pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the cistern lid.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Surrey. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow an hour or two. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

Advice
Work for landlords and builders
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
When we would advise against a repair
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- 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 photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we repair
- Pedestals
- Vitreous china
- Toilet pans
- Cisterns & lids
- Porcelain

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the entire toilet
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole toilet, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Shipley Bridge: your questions answered
Are there extra charges for Shipley Bridge?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.
How do I get a price for toilet chip repair in Shipley Bridge?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your RH6 postcode.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a toilet needs 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. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
