How we handle toilet chip repair in Acklam
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. Common call-outs are for chips on the pan or rim and marks on the outside of the pan, on porcelain, cisterns & lids and vitreous china.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Acklam as everywhere else we work. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What toilet chip repair costs
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Acklam. What changes the price is:
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A picture taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
What we cannot put right
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Porcelain
- Toilet pans
- Pedestals
- Cisterns & lids
- Vitreous china
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
