Toilet chip repair in Sidcot, done in place
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. Our repair technicians work on vitreous china, toilet pans and cisterns & lids, and the jobs we see most are chips on the cistern lid and damage from dropped items.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Sidcot: your questions answered
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Do you work in Sidcot?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Sidcot and the rest of North Somerset. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the entire UK, including Sidcot and the rest of North Somerset. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
When we’d advise against a repair
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- 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 photos and we will give you a straight answer.

What else we do in Sidcot
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
