About our toilet chip repair in Coleraine
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We are frequently asked to fix pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the pan or rim, in porcelain, cisterns & lids and vitreous china.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Coleraine. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally 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. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:
- A wider photo showing the entire toilet
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What happens on the day
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes an hour or two for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- The glaze is colour matched and finished.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Coleraine, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

When a repair isn’t the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- 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.
