- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole toilet, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Related advice
Toilet chip repair in Gubblecote 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 say so if we find one. Typical jobs include damage from dropped items and chips on the cistern lid, in toilet pans, vitreous china and pedestals.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

FAQs for Gubblecote
What does toilet chip repair cost?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
What information do you need?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For landlords and businesses
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
What we are called out for in Gubblecote
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly often.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Damage from dropped items
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Marks on the outside of the pan
Before booking anyone
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Who will actually do the work
- What preparation is included
When a repair is not the answer
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)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Repairing versus replacing in Gubblecote
A new 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. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
