How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Toilet chip repair in Carlton Colville without replacing anything
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Common call-outs are for pieces knocked off during fitting and damage from dropped items, on toilet pans, vitreous china and pedestals.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Carlton Colville questions
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Carlton Colville.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Do you need toilet chip repair in Carlton Colville?
Toilets and cisterns generally get chipped during fitting, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids are a common casualty.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Chips on the pan or rim
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What preparation is included
- Who turns up on the day

Landlords, agents and businesses in Carlton Colville
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Carlton Colville use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- 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 pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
