Toilet chip repair in Haughton-le-Skerne without replacing anything
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’ll say so if we find one. We regularly repair pedestals, vitreous china and toilet pans, and the jobs we see most are damage from dropped items and chips on the cistern lid.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Haughton-le-Skerne and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- 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 pictures and we will say what we think.

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
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.
How we price toilet chip repair
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
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 play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the entire toilet
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
The process
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes one to two hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- The glaze is colour matched and finished.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
