Repair or replace: which is better?
A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How we handle toilet chip repair in Car Colston
Chips are rebuilt and colour matched 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’s what we find. Our technicians work on toilet pans, pedestals and porcelain, and the jobs we see most are damage from dropped items and marks on the outside of the pan.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Car Colston and across Nottinghamshire. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What toilet chip repair costs
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Car Colston. The price comes down to:
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Car Colston. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the entire toilet
For a price in Car Colston, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
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
- Porcelain
- Pedestals
- Vitreous china
- Toilet pans
- Cisterns & lids
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Car Colston
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
