What toilet chip repair costs
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Toilet chip repair in Ashton without replacing anything
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. We regularly repair vitreous china, pedestals and cisterns & lids, and common reasons people contact us are marks on the outside of the pan and pieces knocked off during fitting.
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. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Ashton
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What does toilet chip repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Common problems we fix in Ashton
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids are a common casualty.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Damage from dropped items
Comparing quotes
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- What prep work is covered
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether they match the colour on site

We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow an hour or two.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.

For landlords and businesses
