Repair or replace: which is better?
A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Why book with us
- No need to remove anything
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- One-year guarantee on every repair

How we handle toilet chip repair in Dorley's Corner
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. We are often asked to fix pieces knocked off during fitting and damage from dropped items, on vitreous china, cisterns & lids and pedestals.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What toilet chip repair costs
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Dorley's Corner. What changes the price is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- 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.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
How the visit works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes an hour or two for most jobs. We leave the room clean.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Open a window if you can
How to get a price
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.
