How we handle toilet chip repair in Ulgham
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll 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. Typical jobs include damage from dropped items and marks on the outside of the pan, on pedestals, porcelain and cisterns & lids.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Ulgham and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

How it works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes an hour or two, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

FAQs for Ulgham
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
When we would advise against a repair
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- 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’ll say what we think before booking.

- Vitreous china
- Cisterns & lids
