How we handle toilet chip repair in Upper Stratton
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Our technicians work on porcelain, pedestals and toilet pans, and people most frequently call us about chips on the pan or rim and chips on the cistern lid.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
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 to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the entire toilet
Most clients in Upper Stratton get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

FAQs for Upper Stratton
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
How do I book?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you repair a chipped toilet?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
What about a leaking crack?
No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

When a repair is not the answer

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Repairing versus replacing in Upper Stratton
A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
