How we handle toilet chip repair in Friendly
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. Our repair technicians work on pedestals, porcelain and toilet pans, and people most often call us about damage from dropped items and chips on the pan or rim.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Related advice
Why repair rather than replace?
A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

- Marks on the outside of the pan

DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Friendly questions
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
