How we handle toilet chip repair in Somerby
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that is what we find. Whether it’s marks on the outside of the pan and damage from dropped items, we can help, on cisterns & lids, porcelain and pedestals alike.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

- It’s sanded flush.
- The glaze is colour matched and finished.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Somerby
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Do you work in Somerby?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Somerby for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire toilet and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do you cover the entire of Leicestershire?
We cover the entire UK, including Somerby and the rest of Leicestershire. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
What toilet chip repair costs
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Somerby. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the entire toilet
- Any details about the material
If you are in Somerby and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
What you get with us

DIY kit or professional repair?
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 doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
