Should you replace it?
A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Anstey. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Toilet chip repair in Anstey without replacing anything
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. Whether it’s chips on the pan or rim and marks on the outside of the pan, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
When to call us in Anstey
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly frequently.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

- It’s sanded flush.
- The glaze is colour matched and finished.

What toilet chip repair costs
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
- The material
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A photo taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
Most clients in Anstey get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
