Toilet chip repair in Trench Green without replacing anything
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll 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. Whether it’s marks on the outside of the pan and damage from dropped items, we can generally put it right.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The process
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for an hour or two. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- The glaze is colour matched and finished.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Ensure the area is dry
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

FAQs for Trench Green
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Landlord and trade work in Trench Green
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What affects the price in Trench Green
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material

- How much damage there is
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the entire toilet
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your RG4 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
