How we handle toilet chip repair in Cross Gates
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. Common call-outs are for chips on the pan or rim and damage from dropped items, in vitreous china, porcelain and cisterns & lids.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What else we do in Cross Gates
How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the entire toilet
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
