About our toilet chip repair in Skinner's Hill
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 tell you if that is what we find. Our repair technicians work on toilet pans, pedestals and cisterns & lids, and the jobs we see most are chips on the cistern lid and chips on the pan or rim.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Isle of Wight. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Common questions in Skinner's Hill
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
When to call us in Skinner's Hill
Toilets and cisterns usually get chipped during fitting, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids are a common casualty.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Damage from dropped items
- Chips on the pan or rim
Before booking anyone
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How to care for the finish
When we’d advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are 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’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Skinner's Hill
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Skinner's Hill as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Isle of Wight and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Skinner's Hill. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A picture taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
If you’re in Skinner's Hill and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
