Toilet chip repair at your home in Somerford
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 the toilet stays in place. We’re frequently asked to fix chips on the pan or rim and marks on the outside of the pan, on cisterns & lids, porcelain and vitreous china.
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.

Questions from Somerford
What happens after I send pictures?
You will get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
How do I book?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
How much does toilet chip repair cost in Somerford?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do you work in Somerford?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Somerford. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you need toilet chip repair in Somerford?
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids are a common casualty.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Damage from dropped items
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Marks on the outside of the pan
What your quote should include
- If travel is included in the price
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Who turns up on the day
- How long it needs to cure
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
When we’d advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- 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 will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Porcelain
- Cisterns & lids
- Pedestals
- Toilet pans
- Vitreous china
What happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes one to two hours. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

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. A repair leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
