Your questions about toilet chip repair in Troston
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
What does toilet chip repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your IP31 postcode.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Toilet chip repair in Troston, done in place
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that is what we find. If you are dealing with pieces knocked off during fitting and marks on the outside of the pan, we can typically put it right.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What toilet chip repair costs
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send pictures for a quote
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
