Toilet Chip Repair for Stroat homes
Damaged toilet in Stroat? We put it right where it is, match it on site and guarantee the work for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a toilet needs 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. For a rural home like those around Stroat, a replacement means trades travelling out and waste being taken away, while toilet chip repair is one trip.
Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Stroat. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Toilet chip repair in Stroat without replacing anything
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. Our repair technicians work on porcelain, vitreous china and cisterns & lids, and the jobs we see most are marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the cistern lid.
In a village like Stroat, older cottages sometimes have period basins and toilets, and those are worth keeping. We repair around makers’ marks where we can.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What toilet chip repair costs
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.

Stroat: your questions answered
Is it worth repairing old toilets in a period home in Stroat?
In most cases: original pieces are often better made and harder to replace. Send photos and we will advise.
Will you travel to Stroat?
We do: Stroat is covered like any town. Just mention any tricky access.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

How it works
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’ll keep you posted as we go. Somewhere as small as Stroat, access is usually the main thing to plan. Once we’re there, the toilet chip repair works exactly as anywhere else.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- The glaze is colour matched and finished.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Make sure the area is dry

When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Vitreous china
- Porcelain
- Cisterns & lids
- Toilet pans
- Pedestals
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
