How to compare quotes

Toilet chip repair in Stoughton without replacing anything

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. Our repair technicians work on vitreous china, pedestals and cisterns & lids, and the jobs we see most are damage from dropped items and pieces knocked off during fitting.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a 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. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Most customers in Stoughton get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow one to two hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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.

When we’d advise against a repair

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • A crack that leaks water
  • A crack through the bowl or trap
  • A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

  • Porcelain
  • Pedestals
  • Toilet pans
  • Cisterns & lids
  • Vitreous china

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
