Toilet chip repair in Gotherington, done in place
Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. Typical jobs include pieces knocked off during fitting and damage from dropped items, in cisterns & lids, toilet pans and porcelain.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Is the work guaranteed?

Why repair rather than replace?
A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. 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.

How we price toilet chip repair
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your GL52 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
