Toilet chip repair in Chitty, done in place
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We work on toilet pans, porcelain and cisterns & lids, and the jobs we see most are chips on the cistern lid and marks on the outside of the pan.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Chitty. The price reflects:
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send photos for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A wider photo showing the whole toilet
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Should you replace it?
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. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
