About our toilet chip repair in Arniston
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. We regularly repair vitreous china, toilet pans and pedestals, and the jobs we see most are damage from dropped items and marks on the outside of the pan.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Arniston
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Arniston as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes an hour or two, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Ensure the area is dry
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

What toilet chip repair costs
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the whole toilet
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
Email us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Arniston, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Common questions in Arniston
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire toilet and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Do you cover Arniston?
We do. We send a technician to Arniston for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you repair a chipped toilet?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
