Repairing versus replacing in Esh
A new toilet needs 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. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Why us?
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- No extra charge for your area
- A fixed quote before booking
- Nothing taken out or refitted

Toilet chip repair in Esh, done in place
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. Typical jobs include marks on the outside of the pan and pieces knocked off during fitting, on toilet pans, cisterns & lids and porcelain.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Esh. The price reflects:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
We do not add 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.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- A wider photo showing the whole toilet
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
