Toilet chip repair in St Pauls without replacing anything
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Typical jobs include chips on the cistern lid and chips on the pan or rim, in porcelain, pedestals and vitreous china.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Common problems we fix in St Pauls
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly often.
The things clients generally mention when they call include:
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Damage from dropped items
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Chips on the cistern lid

Your questions about toilet chip repair in St Pauls
Can you repair a chipped toilet?

Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in St Pauls.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for St Pauls. What changes the price is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Any details about the material

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- 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.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
