Toilet chip repair in Shipton Solars, done in place
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 is what we find. Our repair technicians work on cisterns & lids, porcelain and pedestals, and people most frequently call us about marks on the outside of the pan and pieces knocked off during fitting.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
What we can’t put right
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t 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 pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Porcelain
- Cisterns & lids
- Toilet pans
- Pedestals
- Vitreous china
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new 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. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Shipton Solars. What changes the price is:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
- A picture taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
