Why repair rather than replace?
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 leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How we handle toilet chip repair in Sollom
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Typical jobs include chips on the cistern lid and marks on the outside of the pan, in pedestals, toilet pans and cisterns & lids.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What affects the price in Sollom
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
FAQs for Sollom
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Sollom.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole toilet and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
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.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Sollom
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes one to two hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
