Toilet chip repair in Common Side, done in place
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Whether it’s damage from dropped items and chips on the pan or rim, we can generally put it right, on vitreous china, porcelain and cisterns & lids alike.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What we can’t put right
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- 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 photos and we will tell you honestly.

How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Common Side. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
- A photo taken from further back
Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Common Side, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
What you get with us
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- Same prices wherever you are
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
