How we handle toilet chip repair in Cold Christmas
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched 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 pan or rim and pieces knocked off during fitting, across vitreous china, porcelain and cisterns & lids.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take one to two hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- The glaze is colour matched and finished.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure 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.

What we can’t 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 photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Pedestals
- Cisterns & lids
- Porcelain
- Vitreous china
- Toilet pans
Why repair rather than replace?
A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Cold Christmas
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
How much does toilet chip repair cost in Cold Christmas?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your SG12 postcode.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Cold Christmas. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
