Toilet chip repair in Chelston without replacing anything
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. We work on pedestals, toilet pans and porcelain, and common reasons people get in touch are chips on the cistern lid and chips on the pan or rim.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

The process
We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes an hour or two, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- The glaze is colour matched and finished.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good.

Common questions in Chelston
Do you come to Chelston?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Chelston. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

What else we do in Chelston
What a repair can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What toilet chip repair costs
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
If you are in Chelston and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
