Toilet chip repair in Cotes, done in place
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that is what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We regularly repair toilet pans, pedestals and cisterns & lids, and people most often call us about marks on the outside of the pan and damage from dropped items.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What toilet chip repair costs
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.
Quotes from your photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Landlord and trade work in Cotes
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
For anyone letting property in or around Cotes, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
When to call us in Cotes
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly often.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Damage from dropped items
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Chips on the pan or rim

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Repair or replace in Cotes?
A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
