- We sand the repair level.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.

Advice
How we handle toilet chip repair in Glewstone
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, 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. Our repair technicians work on pedestals, cisterns & lids and toilet pans, and people most often call us about chips on the pan or rim and chips on the cistern lid.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Glewstone and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

What toilet chip repair costs
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A photo taken from further back
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Glewstone: your questions answered
Can you repair a chipped toilet?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Glewstone included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Repairing versus replacing in Glewstone
A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Glewstone. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
