Toilet chip repair at your home in Doxford Park
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. We regularly repair toilet pans, vitreous china and porcelain, and the jobs we see most are marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the pan or rim.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Why Doxford Park customers choose us
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Everything repaired in place
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Doxford Park questions
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
What does toilet chip repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes one to two hours in most cases. The room is left tidy.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- The glaze is colour matched and finished.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Get a quote
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. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
