Toilet chip repair at your home in Darite
Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. Whether it’s marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the cistern lid, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Darite use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Repair or replace: which is better?
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. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
FAQs for Darite
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
What about a leaking crack?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

How we price toilet chip repair
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the entire toilet
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- 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 pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Toilet pans
- Porcelain
- Pedestals
- Vitreous china
- Cisterns & lids
