About our toilet chip repair in Sidbury
Chips are rebuilt and colour matched 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. We’re often asked to fix chips on the cistern lid and damage from dropped items, on cisterns & lids, pedestals and vitreous china.
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.

- Chips on the pan or rim

Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Sidbury, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the whole toilet
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Sidbury, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
What we do, step by step
You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It usually takes an hour or two, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- The glaze is colour matched and finished.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep a parking space free if you can

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

We do. Technicians travel to Sidbury from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
