Related advice
Toilet chip repair in Crosthwaite, done in place
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Common call-outs are for chips on the cistern lid and pieces knocked off during fitting, across toilet pans, vitreous china and porcelain.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What toilet chip repair costs
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the entire toilet
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

- Damage from dropped items
- Marks on the outside of the pan

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What we can’t put right
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Vitreous china
- Porcelain
- Cisterns & lids
- Pedestals
- Toilet pans
Why repair rather than replace?
A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Why us?
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
