How we handle toilet chip repair in Coldhurst
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. We are often asked to fix damage from dropped items and pieces knocked off during fitting, in cisterns & lids, toilet pans and vitreous china.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

FAQs for Coldhurst
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
What does toilet chip repair cost?
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 and your postcode.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
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. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. 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 a repair cannot fix
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- 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 will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Porcelain
- Toilet pans
- Pedestals
- Cisterns & lids
- Vitreous china
Repairing versus replacing in Coldhurst
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Why us?
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Fixed prices from your photos
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Everything repaired in place

Advice
What toilet chip repair costs
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the entire toilet
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.
