How we handle toilet chip repair in Botolphs
Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. Our technicians work on porcelain, vitreous china and pedestals, and the jobs we see most are chips on the pan or rim and chips on the cistern lid.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

Can you repair a chipped toilet?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
