Toilet chip repair in South Bents, done in place
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. We’re often asked to fix damage from dropped items and pieces knocked off during fitting, in toilet pans, cisterns & lids and porcelain.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
What we can’t put right
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we work on in South Bents
- Vitreous china
- Cisterns & lids
- Pedestals
- Toilet pans
- Porcelain
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
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, then guarantee it for a year.

Advice
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Why us?
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- A fixed quote before you book
- No need to remove anything
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK

What we’re called out for in South Bents
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids are a common casualty.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Damage from dropped items
What your quote should include
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What happens if they find more damage
- How the colour is matched
What affects the price in South Bents
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for South Bents. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A wider photo showing the entire toilet
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
