- Pieces knocked off during fitting
For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.
Toilet chip repair in Ainderby Steeple, done in place
Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. We’re frequently asked to fix chips on the cistern lid and damage from dropped items, on cisterns & lids, toilet pans and porcelain.
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 clean the outside of the pan gently.

What toilet chip repair costs
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
- The material
- The type of damage
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed 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, and the work is guaranteed.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
