Toilet chip repair in and around Slimbridge: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Repairs from £95

How we handle toilet chip repair in Slimbridge
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. We work on porcelain, toilet pans and cisterns & lids, and common reasons people get in touch are pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the pan or rim.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Slimbridge and across Gloucestershire. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Questions from Slimbridge
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
What about a leaking crack?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.
Honest limits
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Slimbridge

How the visit works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take an hour or two, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- The glaze is colour matched and finished.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Point us to the nearest place to park
How to get a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

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 often lifts.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
