Toilet chip repair in Clayholes without replacing anything
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. Common call-outs are for marks on the outside of the pan and damage from dropped items, on cisterns & lids, pedestals and porcelain.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Clayholes: your questions answered
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Do you come to Clayholes?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Clayholes from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole toilet and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
How do I get a price for toilet chip repair in Clayholes?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How we price toilet chip repair
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Clayholes. The price comes down to:
- The material
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the whole toilet
- Natural light rather than flash
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Should you replace it?
A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What we are called out for in Clayholes
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly often.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Damage from dropped items
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Chips on the pan or rim
Questions to ask before you book
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
