About our toilet chip repair in Heighington
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. We work on toilet pans, pedestals and porcelain, and people most frequently call us about damage from dropped items and chips on the cistern lid.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Lincolnshire. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What toilet chip repair costs
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Landlord and trade work in Heighington
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Heighington as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
The process
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take an hour or two, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- The glaze is colour matched and finished.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole toilet, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

FAQs for Heighington
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Lincolnshire, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Are there extra charges for Heighington?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
