Toilet chip repair in Colwell, done in place
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Common call-outs are for chips on the pan or rim and pieces knocked off during fitting, on toilet pans, vitreous china and porcelain.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. 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 photos.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What we cannot put right
In fairness, some problems need a different 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.
Surfaces we repair
- Vitreous china
- Cisterns & lids
- Porcelain
- Toilet pans

How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Colwell. What changes the price is:
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Colwell, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Related advice
Should you replace it?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Colwell. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
