About our toilet chip repair in Snape
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Whether it’s chips on the cistern lid and pieces knocked off during fitting, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Why book with us
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Landlord and trade work in Snape
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
When a repair isn’t the answer
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- 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.
Surfaces we repair
- Toilet pans
- Cisterns & lids
- Vitreous china
- Porcelain

What we do, step by step

- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- The glaze is colour matched and finished.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Before we arrive
