About our toilet chip repair in Chillington
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. Typical jobs include chips on the cistern lid and damage from dropped items, across vitreous china, porcelain and cisterns & lids.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
What affects the price in Chillington
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

FAQs for Chillington
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
How much does toilet chip repair cost in Chillington?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
What about a leaking crack?
No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What happens on the day
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes an hour or two, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- The glaze is colour matched and finished.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Advice
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

Repairing versus replacing in Chillington
A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Chillington. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
