About our toilet chip repair in Frogmore
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We regularly repair porcelain, toilet pans and pedestals, and people most often call us about chips on the cistern lid and pieces knocked off during fitting.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 often lifts.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
FAQs for Frogmore
What does toilet chip repair cost?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Do you cover Frogmore?
We do. We send a technician to Frogmore for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Repairing versus replacing in Frogmore
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

How we price toilet chip repair
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Frogmore. The price reflects:
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:
- A wider photo showing the whole toilet
- Any details about the material
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the work takes one to two hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole toilet, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
