Toilet chip repair at your home in Carlecotes
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We regularly repair porcelain, cisterns & lids and vitreous china, and the jobs we see most are damage from dropped items and chips on the cistern lid.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Carlecotes as everywhere else we work. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What toilet chip repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
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 quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
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, a professional repair is worth it.
When to call us in Carlecotes
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly often.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Chips on the cistern lid
Before you book anyone
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What preparation is included
When we’d advise against a repair
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. We don’t add 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.
