Toilet chip repair at your home in St Quivox
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. If you are dealing with damage from dropped items and marks on the outside of the pan, we can normally put it right.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Do you need toilet chip repair in St Quivox?
Toilets and cisterns typically get chipped during fitting, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly often.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Damage from dropped items
Questions to ask before booking
- Aftercare advice
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

When a repair is not the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

St Quivox: your questions answered
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do you cover the whole of South Ayrshire?
We work UK-wide, so St Quivox is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Getting a price from photos
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes one to two hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- The glaze is colour matched and finished.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Make sure the area is dry
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
