Toilet chip repair in Swanwick, done in place
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Whether it’s pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the cistern lid, we can usually put it right, on vitreous china, cisterns & lids and toilet pans alike.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Derbyshire. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
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 photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
Most clients in Swanwick get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a 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. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Why us?
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- No need to remove anything
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Swanwick questions
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Swanwick. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
What about a leaking crack?
No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
Do you cover Swanwick?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Swanwick. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
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.
When to call us in Swanwick
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids are a common casualty.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Damage from dropped items
What to look for in a quote
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- When it can be used again
- Who turns up on the day
The process
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take an hour or two, tidy-up included.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- The glaze is colour matched and finished.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire toilet, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Swanwick
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
