Advice
Toilet chip repair at your home in Douglastown
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 tell you if that is what we find. We regularly repair porcelain, vitreous china and toilet pans, and people most often call us about chips on the cistern lid and pieces knocked off during fitting.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Douglastown as everywhere else we work. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise 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.
