DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
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 generally the cheaper route.
How we handle toilet chip repair in Sullom
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. If you’re dealing with chips on the cistern lid and pieces knocked off during fitting, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What else we do in Sullom
What affects the price in Sullom
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed quote
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A photo taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
- The material, if you know it
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole toilet, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
Repair or replace in Sullom?
A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Sullom questions
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
How do I get a price for toilet chip repair in Sullom?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
