How we handle toilet chip repair in Gorran Haven
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. We regularly repair pedestals, toilet pans and vitreous china, and common reasons people contact us are damage from dropped items and pieces knocked off during fitting.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Gorran Haven: your questions answered
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
How much does toilet chip repair cost in Gorran Haven?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you repair a chipped toilet?
Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
When we would advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A crack that leaks water

Signs you need toilet chip repair in Gorran Haven
Toilets and cisterns generally get chipped during fitting, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly often.
People normally call us when they notice something like this:
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Damage from dropped items
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Chips on the cistern lid
Before you book anyone
- Whether they match the colour on site
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Who turns up on the day
Should you replace it?
A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why us?
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Fixed prices from your photos
- One-year guarantee on every repair

What toilet chip repair costs
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Gorran Haven. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the whole toilet
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire toilet, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed 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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
