About our toilet chip repair in Ealand
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. We work on vitreous china, cisterns & lids and toilet pans, and the jobs we see most are pieces knocked off during fitting and damage from dropped items.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Pedestals
- Vitreous china
- Toilet pans
- Porcelain
- Cisterns & lids
Repairing versus replacing in Ealand
A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Related advice
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Ealand questions
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Do you work in Ealand?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Ealand. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.
What does toilet chip repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
