About our toilet chip repair in St Combs
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that is what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Typical jobs include chips on the cistern lid and pieces knocked off during fitting, on porcelain, toilet pans and pedestals.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Landlords, agents and businesses in St Combs
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
When we’d advise against a repair
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)
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on
- Vitreous china

- Toilet pans

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

St Combs questions
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
How the visit works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes an hour or two. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
What toilet chip repair costs
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the whole toilet
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
