What toilet chip repair costs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the entire toilet
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
About our toilet chip repair in Exeter
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’ll tell you if that is what we find. Typical jobs include chips on the pan or rim and damage from dropped items, across porcelain, pedestals and vitreous china.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.
FAQs for Exeter
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
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.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Devon and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Damage from dropped items
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Chips on the cistern lid
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- How your room will be protected
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
When a repair isn’t the answer
We will not take on work 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)
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
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, a professional repair is worth it.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
