About our toilet chip repair in Shotteswell
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’ll say so if we find one. Whether it’s chips on the pan or rim and damage from dropped items, we can help.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Shotteswell as everywhere else we work. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Shotteswell
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Which areas do you work in?

Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Shotteswell. The price comes down to:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
When we would advise against a repair
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.
What we work on
- Cisterns & lids
- Toilet pans
- Vitreous china

Repairing versus replacing in Shotteswell
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why us?
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Fixed prices from your photos
- Nothing taken out or refitted

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’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- The glaze is colour matched and finished.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the area is dry
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole toilet, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
