About our toilet chip repair in Clate
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, 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. Our technicians work on cisterns & lids, vitreous china and pedestals, and the jobs we see most are pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the cistern lid.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Details of any past repairs

Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your ZE2 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Clate. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why us?
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- No extra charge for your area
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in the Shetland Islands and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
Questions from Clate
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
What about a leaking crack?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, so Clate is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can you repair a chipped toilet?
Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Common problems we fix in Clate
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids are a common casualty.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Damage from dropped items
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Chips on the pan or rim
Before you book anyone
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What happens if they find more damage
What we cannot put right
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)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Pedestals
- Vitreous china
- Porcelain
- Cisterns & lids
- Toilet pans
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take an hour or two.
- 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.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
How to get a price
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 come back to you with a fixed figure.
