How we price toilet chip repair
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
- The material, if you know it
- A picture taken from further back
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Toilet chip repair at your home in California
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that is what we find. Whether it’s chips on the pan or rim and marks on the outside of the pan, we can help, on porcelain, pedestals and vitreous china alike.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in California
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
For anyone letting property in or around California, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
