The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

About our toilet chip repair in Ashwell
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will 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. Whether it’s pieces knocked off during fitting and damage from dropped items, we can help, on pedestals, vitreous china and toilet pans alike.
All of our repairs are guaranteed 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 clean the outside of the pan gently.

What toilet chip repair costs
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Ashwell. The price comes down to:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Send pictures for a quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One picture of the whole toilet
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole toilet, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Can I fix it myself?
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.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take one to two hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Make sure the area is dry
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
How to get a price
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your LE15 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

- A crack that leaks water

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
