Toilet chip repair at your home in Daybrook
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. We’re frequently asked to fix pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the cistern lid, on toilet pans, cisterns & lids and vitreous china.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Repair or replace in Daybrook?
A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Letting agents often send us photos 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.

What toilet chip repair costs
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Daybrook. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A photo taken from further back

Daybrook questions
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
How much does toilet chip repair cost in Daybrook?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
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.
When a repair is not the answer
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Vitreous china
