About our toilet chip repair in Harbottle
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. Our repair technicians work on porcelain, vitreous china and cisterns & lids, and people most frequently call us about pieces knocked off during fitting and marks on the outside of the pan.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What we do, step by step
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take an hour or two. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Open a window if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Your questions about toilet chip repair in Harbottle
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you quote from photos?
Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed quote, normally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the whole toilet
- Something in shot to show the size
- Where you are, by postcode
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole toilet, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.
When to call us in Harbottle
Toilets and cisterns typically get chipped during fitting, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly often.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Damage from dropped items
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
Before booking anyone
- When it can be used again
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How changes to the job are handled

Repair or replace in Harbottle?
A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
