How we handle toilet chip repair in Barnby
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that is what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. We’re often asked to fix damage from dropped items and chips on the pan or rim, on toilet pans, porcelain and vitreous china.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What a repair cannot fix
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Porcelain
- Cisterns & lids
- Pedestals
- Vitreous china
- Toilet pans
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 fails, we can still put it right.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
How the visit works
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take one to two hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
How to get a price

What toilet chip repair costs
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the whole toilet
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Barnby. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
