Toilet chip repair in Southford without replacing anything
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’s what we find. We regularly repair porcelain, pedestals and vitreous china, and common reasons people contact us are chips on the pan or rim and chips on the cistern lid.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Landlord and trade work in Southford
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed quote
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Should you replace it?
A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip 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.
