Toilet chip repair at your home in Great Strickland
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. We regularly repair vitreous china, pedestals and cisterns & lids, and people most frequently call us about pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the cistern lid.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

How it works
Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take an hour or two, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- The glaze is colour matched and finished.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
What toilet chip repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. 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.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One picture of the whole toilet
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- 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 photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Pedestals
- Porcelain
- Toilet pans
- Cisterns & lids
- Vitreous china
Repairing versus replacing in Great Strickland
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. What it costs 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.
