About our toilet chip repair in Ashley
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. We are frequently asked to fix chips on the cistern lid and chips on the pan or rim, in vitreous china, toilet pans and pedestals.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Avoid dropping 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 sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Ashley. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the whole toilet
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole toilet, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
When to call us in Ashley
Toilets and cisterns normally get chipped during fitting, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly frequently.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Damage from dropped items
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Chips on the cistern lid
Questions to ask before booking
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- When it can be used again

- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
