DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Do you need toilet chip repair in Gracemount?
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly often.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Damage from dropped items
- Marks on the outside of the pan
What to look for in a quote
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether a trained technician does the job
How we price toilet chip repair
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Advice
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
When a repair is not the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
