What toilet chip repair costs
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
About our toilet chip repair in Great Canney
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. We are often asked to fix chips on the pan or rim and pieces knocked off during fitting, on cisterns & lids, pedestals and porcelain.
Somewhere like Great Canney, an older toilet can be hard to match if replaced. Repairing it keeps the bathroom as it is.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

When we’d advise against a repair
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

Repairing versus replacing in Great Canney
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Replacement in Great Canney means trades, travel and waste removal, while a repair is a single visit.
Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
