Should you replace it?
A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Toilet chip repair in Ballantrae, done in place
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 will tell you if that is what we find. We regularly repair porcelain, cisterns & lids and vitreous china, and the jobs we see most are chips on the cistern lid and chips on the pan or rim.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Related advice
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
What toilet chip repair costs
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- Any details about the material
- One picture of the entire toilet
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Honest limits
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Vitreous china
- Porcelain
- Cisterns & lids
- Pedestals
- Toilet pans

Common questions in Ballantrae
What does toilet chip repair cost?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you cover the entire of South Ayrshire?
All of South Ayrshire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
