Toilet Chip Repair in Upshire
Damaged toilet in Upshire? We put it right where it is, match it on site and guarantee the work for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Damage from dropped items
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Toilet chip repair at your home in Upshire
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 don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Common call-outs are for chips on the cistern lid and marks on the outside of the pan, in porcelain, vitreous china and toilet pans.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

FAQs for Upshire
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Upshire as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
What toilet chip repair costs
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
What happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes one to two hours. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
