Toilet chip repair at your home in Stow
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 the toilet stays in place. Our technicians work on pedestals, cisterns & lids and toilet pans, and the jobs we see most are marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the cistern lid.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

When to call us in Stow
Toilets and cisterns generally get chipped during fitting, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids are a common casualty.
Clients usually contact us about:
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Damage from dropped items
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Chips on the pan or rim
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How your room will be protected
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
Why repair rather than replace?
A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
What you get with us
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- No need to remove anything
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- One visit for most repairs
Take a look at our pricing.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
What toilet chip repair costs
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
A repair typically 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
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
If you are in Stow and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Stow
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
FAQs for Stow
Do you work in Stow?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Stow. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
What we can’t put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- 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 pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Vitreous china
- Cisterns & lids
- Pedestals
- Toilet pans
- Porcelain
