Your questions about toilet chip repair in Dobs Hill
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

Toilet chip repair at your home in Dobs Hill
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We regularly repair cisterns & lids, pedestals and vitreous china, and common reasons people contact us are chips on the cistern lid and chips on the pan or rim.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What we do, step by step
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take one to two hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Advice
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a 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. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What toilet chip repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Dobs Hill. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the entire toilet
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
When to call us in Dobs Hill
Toilets and cisterns typically get chipped during fitting, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly often.
Look out for these signs:
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Damage from dropped items
- Chips on the cistern lid
Comparing quotes
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
