Toilet chip repair in Grantham, done in place
Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. If you’re dealing with pieces knocked off during fitting and marks on the outside of the pan, we can help, on pedestals, porcelain and toilet pans alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

The process
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes an hour or two, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Get a quote
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Related advice
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
What a repair cannot fix
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Vitreous china
- Toilet pans
- Porcelain
- Pedestals

How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A wider photo showing the whole toilet
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
