About our toilet chip repair in Timberland
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that is what we find. We are frequently asked to fix pieces knocked off during fitting and damage from dropped items, on pedestals, cisterns & lids and toilet pans.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

When to call us in Timberland
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly often.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Damage from dropped items
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
Before you book anyone

- What preparation is included
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
When we would advise against a repair
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Toilet pans
- Porcelain

For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Timberland use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Timberland: your questions answered
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Lincolnshire.
What about a leaking crack?
No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
What areas do you cover?
All of Lincolnshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
How the visit works
You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take an hour or two, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
How to prepare
- Make sure the area is dry
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

What else we do in Timberland
What affects the price in Timberland
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the entire toilet
- Details of any past repairs
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
