Toilet chip repair in Strines, done in place
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that is what we find. Common call-outs are for marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the pan or rim, in pedestals, porcelain and toilet pans.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Do you need toilet chip repair in Strines?
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly frequently.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Damage from dropped items
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
Questions to ask before booking
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It usually takes an hour or two, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper 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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- 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’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Porcelain
- Cisterns & lids
- Vitreous china
- Pedestals
- Toilet pans
Should you replace it?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Strines questions
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
What about a leaking crack?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
What affects the price in Strines
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the whole toilet
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
