How we handle toilet chip repair in South Lynn
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. Whether it’s marks on the outside of the pan and damage from dropped items, we can typically put it right, on porcelain, cisterns & lids and toilet pans alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take one to two hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- The glaze is colour matched and finished.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know about parking or access
- Make sure the area is dry

Repairing versus replacing in South Lynn
Replacing a toilet means 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. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

South Lynn: your questions answered
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.
When a repair is not the answer
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- 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 photos and we will say what we think before you book.
