Our hiring checklist

Toilet chip repair in Shipton Gorge without replacing anything

A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. If you’re dealing with chips on the cistern lid and chips on the pan or rim, we can help, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Repair or replace in Shipton Gorge?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Shipton Gorge. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Shipton Gorge

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

What we can’t put right

To be straight with you, 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)

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

  • Pedestals
  • Cisterns & lids

Questions from Shipton Gorge

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Shipton Gorge.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

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.

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.

How do I book?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

What toilet chip repair costs

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Shipton Gorge. The price comes down to:

  • The material
  • How much damage there is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the whole toilet
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Upload photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your DT6 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes an hour or two. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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, then guarantee it for a year.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
