Toilet chip repair at your home in St Leonard's
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. We regularly repair pedestals, vitreous china and cisterns & lids, and the jobs we see most are chips on the cistern lid and pieces knocked off during fitting.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Repair or replace in St Leonard's?
A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

When to call us in St Leonard's
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids are a common casualty.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Chips on the cistern lid
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether a trained technician does the job
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
Questions from St Leonard's
