How we handle toilet chip repair in Swan Street
Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. We are often asked to fix pieces knocked off during fitting and marks on the outside of the pan, on pedestals, vitreous china and porcelain.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

When to call us in Swan Street

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Why book with us
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Everything repaired in place
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- Colour-matched on site

Common questions in Swan Street
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Can you repair a chipped toilet?
Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- 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 photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Swan Street as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.
How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes one to two hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

What toilet chip repair costs
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
- The material
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A photo taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
