How we handle toilet chip repair in Halfpenny
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. If you’re dealing with marks on the outside of the pan and damage from dropped items, we can generally put it right, on vitreous china, cisterns & lids and porcelain alike.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Halfpenny questions
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price, generally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
Can you repair a chipped toilet?
Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of Cumbria. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Toilets and cisterns typically get chipped during fitting, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids are a common casualty.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Damage from dropped items
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Marks on the outside of the pan

What to look for in a quote

Repair or replace: which is better?
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. Every job is a little different, 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.
What you get with us
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Work done at your home or business
- One price list for the entire UK
- We leave the room as we found it
