Toilet chip repair in Somerford Keynes, done in place
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. Typical jobs include marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the cistern lid, on porcelain, toilet pans and pedestals.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Gloucestershire. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What toilet chip repair costs
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Getting a price from pictures
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the whole toilet
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Landlord and trade work in Somerford Keynes
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
For anyone letting property in or around Somerford Keynes, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for one to two hours. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know which floor the room is on
