Toilet chip repair in Stony Stratford, done in place
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’ll tell you if that’s what we find. Whether it’s damage from dropped items and pieces knocked off during fitting, we can generally put it right, on toilet pans, porcelain and cisterns & lids alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Common questions in Stony Stratford
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you repair a chipped toilet?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally 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, a professional repair is worth it.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the area is dry
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.
Quotes from your photos
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.
