The process
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes an hour or two, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

How we handle toilet chip repair in Gustard Wood
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that is what we find. If you’re dealing with damage from dropped items and chips on the pan or rim, we can generally put it right, on pedestals, porcelain and vitreous china alike.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

When we’d advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- 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.
Surfaces we repair
- Cisterns & lids
- Pedestals
- Porcelain
- Vitreous china
- Toilet pans
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 won’t last.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Gustard Wood. What changes the price is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the entire toilet
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Questions from Gustard Wood
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Can you repair a chipped toilet?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Gustard Wood. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Gustard Wood
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
