Toilet chip repair at your home in The Knap
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Typical jobs include pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the pan or rim, on vitreous china, pedestals and porcelain.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start 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.

Can I fix it myself?
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 usually the cheaper route.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
What happens on the day
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take an hour or two.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Questions from The Knap
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Are there extra charges for The Knap?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Honest limits
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The material
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
- Where you are, by postcode
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Landlord and trade work in The Knap
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
