Toilet chip repair at your home in Tetney Lock
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that is what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Our technicians work on porcelain, cisterns & lids and pedestals, and the jobs we see most are chips on the pan or rim and chips on the cistern lid.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
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.
How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow an hour or two. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price

Landlords, agents and businesses in Tetney Lock

What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- 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 before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Pedestals
- Toilet pans
- Cisterns & lids
- Vitreous china
- Porcelain
Why repair rather than replace?
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. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Tetney Lock. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
