Toilet chip repair at your home in Downfield
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Our technicians work on porcelain, vitreous china and toilet pans, and common reasons people contact us are chips on the cistern lid and marks on the outside of the pan.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
When to call us in Downfield
Toilets and cisterns normally get chipped during fitting, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids are a common casualty.

When a repair is not the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

How we price toilet chip repair
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Downfield. The price comes down to:
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- One picture of the entire toilet
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Downfield questions
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you repair a chipped toilet?
Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How it works
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes one to two hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- The glaze is colour matched and finished.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
