How we handle toilet chip repair in Berner's Cross
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We’re frequently asked to fix chips on the cistern lid and chips on the pan or rim, on cisterns & lids, toilet pans and vitreous china.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What toilet chip repair costs
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Berner's Cross. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Berner's Cross. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- One picture of the entire toilet
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Do you need toilet chip repair in Berner's Cross?

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Pieces knocked off during fitting

Why repair rather than replace?
A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

How it works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take one to two hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Berner's Cross questions
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What about a leaking crack?
No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
