What toilet chip repair costs
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
- One picture of the whole toilet
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole toilet, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
Toilet chip repair at your home in Dishforth
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that is what we find. We are often asked to fix chips on the pan or rim and marks on the outside of the pan, on toilet pans, vitreous china and pedestals.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
When to call us in Dishforth
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids are a common casualty.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
Before booking anyone
- How your room will be protected
- What preparation is included
- What happens if they find more damage
- Who will actually do the work
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
When we’d advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- 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 pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Cisterns & lids
- Pedestals
- Toilet pans
- Vitreous china
- Porcelain
