Should you replace it?
A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Brunswick. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Toilet chip repair at your home in Brunswick
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. Whether it’s chips on the cistern lid and marks on the outside of the pan, we can usually put it right.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Brunswick as everywhere else we work. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Common questions in Brunswick
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
What about a leaking crack?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Do you cover Brunswick?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Brunswick for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the entire toilet
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes an hour or two. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.
