About our toilet chip repair in Gallows Corner
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Typical jobs include chips on the pan or rim and chips on the cistern lid, in cisterns & lids, porcelain and pedestals.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Can you repair a chipped toilet?

Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
The process
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes one to two hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Ensure the area is dry

Repairing versus replacing in Gallows Corner
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
