Toilet chip repair at your home in Withington
Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. We regularly repair porcelain, cisterns & lids and toilet pans, and the jobs we see most are marks on the outside of the pan and damage from dropped items.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

When we’d advise against a repair

- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Withington questions
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote. There is no obligation to book.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.

For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Gloucestershire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

- How many areas need work
- The type of damage

- The colour and finish to match
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

- One picture of the whole toilet
- The material, if you know it
