How we handle toilet chip repair in West Butsfield
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. We work on vitreous china, cisterns & lids and pedestals, and the jobs we see most are chips on the pan or rim and chips on the cistern lid.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

How we price toilet chip repair
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to West Butsfield. The price comes down to:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your DL13 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How the visit works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to an hour or two, tidy-up included.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
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.
