How we handle toilet chip repair in Shipton
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, 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 regularly repair toilet pans, porcelain and cisterns & lids, and the jobs we see most are marks on the outside of the pan and pieces knocked off during fitting.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

FAQs for Shipton
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you work in Shipton?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Shipton from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
How we price toilet chip repair
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Shipton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the entire toilet
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.
Repair or replace in Shipton?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Why us?
- No need to remove anything
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- One visit for most repairs
