Should you replace it?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Toilet chip repair at your home in Folke
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. We work on pedestals, porcelain and cisterns & lids, and the jobs we see most are damage from dropped items and chips on the cistern lid.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
FAQs for Folke
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote, generally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
What does toilet chip repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your DT9 postcode.
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Folke included. Travel is included in the price.
What we do, step by step
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes one to two hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

What else we do in Folke
What a repair cannot fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t 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)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Toilet pans
- Pedestals
- Cisterns & lids
- Vitreous china
- Porcelain
Landlord and trade work in Folke
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price.
Common problems we fix in Folke
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids are a common casualty.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Damage from dropped items
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Who turns up on the day
