Toilet chip repair at your home in Swallows Cross
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. We work on pedestals, toilet pans and vitreous china, and people most often call us about damage from dropped items and pieces knocked off during fitting.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
When we would advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- 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 will say what we think.
What we work on
- Vitreous china
- Cisterns & lids
- Pedestals
- Toilet pans
- Porcelain
Swallows Cross: your questions answered
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed quote, usually with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, and that includes Swallows Cross. Prices don’t change with location.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Do you cover Swallows Cross?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Swallows Cross for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What toilet chip repair costs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Landlord and trade work in Swallows Cross
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
For anyone letting property in or around Swallows Cross, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
Do you need toilet chip repair in Swallows Cross?
Toilets and cisterns typically get chipped during fitting, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids are a common casualty.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Damage from dropped items
- Chips on the pan or rim
What your quote should include
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Who turns up on the day
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether they match the colour on site
Repair or replace in Swallows Cross?
A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
