About our toilet chip repair in Stratton St Margaret
Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. Our repair technicians work on cisterns & lids, pedestals and toilet pans, and people most often call us about marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the cistern lid.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Stratton St Margaret: your questions answered
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What about a leaking crack?
No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole toilet and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do you come to Stratton St Margaret?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Stratton St Margaret. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
