Toilet chip repair at your home in Shorne Ridgeway
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. We regularly repair vitreous china, porcelain and pedestals, and people most frequently call us about chips on the cistern lid and damage from dropped items.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What affects the price in Shorne Ridgeway
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the whole toilet
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Most customers in Shorne Ridgeway get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- 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’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Questions from Shorne Ridgeway
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole toilet and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 frequently lifts.
