About our toilet chip repair in Crabtree
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched 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 chips on the pan or rim, we can help.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What toilet chip repair costs
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
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’re paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- One picture of the whole toilet
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take one to two hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Repairing versus replacing in Crabtree
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Crabtree. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
What you get with us
- No need to remove anything
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- No extra charge for your area

Crabtree: your questions answered
What about a leaking crack?
No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
