Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Damage from dropped items
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Marks on the outside of the pan
Questions to ask before booking

Toilet chip repair in Coldingham without replacing anything
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. We work on porcelain, cisterns & lids and toilet pans, and common reasons people contact us are marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the cistern lid.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What a repair cannot fix
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Repair or replace in Coldingham?
A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What toilet chip repair costs
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
