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.

What toilet chip repair costs
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

FAQs for Broad Green
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Broad Green included. Travel is included in the price.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Can you repair a chipped toilet?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
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.
Honest limits
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- 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 pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Vitreous china
- Porcelain
- Toilet pans
- Cisterns & lids
- Pedestals
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
