Toilet chip repair in Foxhole, done in place
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched 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. Common call-outs are for damage from dropped items and chips on the cistern lid, on vitreous china, toilet pans and porcelain.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Common problems we fix in Foxhole
Toilets and cisterns usually get chipped during fitting, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly often.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Damage from dropped items
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether they match the colour on site
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Foxhole: your questions answered
What does toilet chip repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
What about a leaking crack?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Are there extra charges for Foxhole?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- 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.
