Toilet chip repair at your home in Douglas Water
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Common call-outs are for chips on the cistern lid and chips on the pan or rim, on pedestals, toilet pans and porcelain.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What toilet chip repair costs
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
The process
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes one to two hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Make sure the area is dry
Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
