About our toilet chip repair in Earl Stonham
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. If you are dealing with chips on the cistern lid and marks on the outside of the pan, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What affects the price in Earl Stonham
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Earl Stonham. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
- One picture of the entire toilet

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Repairing versus replacing in Earl Stonham
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
