About our toilet chip repair in Boode
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. We regularly repair toilet pans, porcelain and vitreous china, and people most often call us about pieces knocked off during fitting and damage from dropped items.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
How to prepare

Advice
When to call us in Boode
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly frequently.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
Questions to ask before you book
- Who turns up on the day
- How the colour is matched
- How your room will be protected
- Whether the price covers travel
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- The material
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- Any details about the material
- A photo taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Your questions about toilet chip repair in Boode
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What does toilet chip repair cost?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
