Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

About our toilet chip repair in Crownhill
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. We work on porcelain, vitreous china and cisterns & lids, and the jobs we see most are chips on the pan or rim and marks on the outside of the pan.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What affects the price in Crownhill
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
- One picture of the entire toilet
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
The process
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes an hour or two, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Ask for a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
