Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Toilet chip repair in Costock without replacing anything
A crack that leaks can’t 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 you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. If you’re dealing with chips on the cistern lid and damage from dropped items, we can help, whatever the material.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Leicestershire. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Advice
Questions from Costock
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
What about a leaking crack?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do you work in Costock?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Costock from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What toilet chip repair costs
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Costock. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A photo taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
