Toilet chip repair in Trent without replacing anything
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. We are frequently asked to fix chips on the pan or rim and marks on the outside of the pan, across pedestals, toilet pans and vitreous china.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Trent as everywhere else we work. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

- 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 photos and we will say what we think before you book.

What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow an hour or two from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to look after it.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Ask for a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Common problems we fix in Trent

- Pieces knocked off during fitting

Common questions in Trent
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
What about a leaking crack?
No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
If you manage property in Trent, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Should you replace it?
A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What toilet chip repair costs
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Trent. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Trent, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
