About our toilet chip repair in Shortwood
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Common call-outs are for chips on the pan or rim and marks on the outside of the pan, across cisterns & lids, toilet pans and pedestals.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Shortwood and across South Gloucestershire. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take one to two hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

What else we do in Shortwood
Can I fix it myself?
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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Landlord and trade work in Shortwood
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Repair or replace in Shortwood?
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. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Shortwood: your questions answered
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
What we cannot put right
In fairness, 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 pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
