Toilet chip repair at your home in Stowey
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. We work on porcelain, pedestals and cisterns & lids, and people most frequently call us about pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the pan or rim.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Bath and North East Somerset. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What a repair cannot fix
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- 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 photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Pedestals
- Vitreous china
- Porcelain
- Cisterns & lids
- Toilet pans
Why repair rather than replace?
A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Stowey. The price reflects:
- Access to the area
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
