How we handle toilet chip repair in The Shoe
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 do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Our repair technicians work on porcelain, pedestals and cisterns & lids, and common reasons people contact us are damage from dropped items and pieces knocked off during fitting.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in The Shoe and across Wiltshire. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What affects the price in The Shoe
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the whole toilet
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Should you replace it?
A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Why book with us
- A fixed quote before booking
- We leave the room as we found it
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

What else we do in The Shoe
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
What we cannot put right
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not 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)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in The Shoe

Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take an hour or two, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
