Toilet chip repair in Claydon without replacing anything
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that is what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We’re frequently asked to fix marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the pan or rim, in vitreous china, pedestals and porcelain.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Claydon as everywhere else we work. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Questions from Claydon
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you repair a chipped toilet?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
How much does toilet chip repair cost in Claydon?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
When we’d advise against a repair
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)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Vitreous china
- Pedestals
- Toilet pans
- Porcelain
- Cisterns & lids
What toilet chip repair costs
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Repair or replace in Claydon?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.

- We sand it flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
How to prepare
