What toilet chip repair costs
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
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.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A picture taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
Toilet chip repair in Brough without replacing anything
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. If you’re dealing with damage from dropped items and chips on the cistern lid, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Landlord and trade work in Brough
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Brough as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Your questions about toilet chip repair in Brough
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can you repair a chipped toilet?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
What about a leaking crack?
No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
Are there extra charges for Brough?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
