Repair or replace: which is better?
A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How we handle toilet chip repair in Twelvewoods
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, 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 pieces knocked off during fitting and damage from dropped items, we can help, on toilet pans, cisterns & lids and porcelain alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Twelvewoods: your questions answered
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Is there a guarantee?

Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole toilet and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
