Toilet chip repair at your home in Tinwald
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 you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. If you’re dealing with chips on the cistern lid and chips on the pan or rim, we can help.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Tinwald
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- 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’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Cisterns & lids
- Porcelain
- Toilet pans
- Vitreous china
- Pedestals
Repairing versus replacing in Tinwald
A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Advice
How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Tinwald. The price depends on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
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. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
