Toilet chip repair in Great Coates without replacing anything
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. Our technicians work on vitreous china, toilet pans and cisterns & lids, and people most often call us about marks on the outside of the pan and damage from dropped items.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What affects the price in Great Coates
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Great Coates. The price reflects:
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A picture taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Common problems we fix in Great Coates
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly frequently.
Look out for these signs:
- Damage from dropped items
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
Comparing quotes
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How long it needs to cure
- How the room is protected while they work
- How changes to the job are handled
What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes one to two hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice
Common questions in Great Coates
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can you repair a chipped toilet?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Great Coates for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
When we would advise against a repair
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Why Great Coates customers choose us
- One-year guarantee on every repair

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Landlord and trade work in Great Coates
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
