How we handle toilet chip repair in Heron Cross
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. Whether it’s pieces knocked off during fitting and damage from dropped items, we can usually put it right.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What toilet chip repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Heron Cross. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
- A picture taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Common questions in Heron Cross
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you cover Heron Cross?
We do. We send a technician to Heron Cross for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally 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, and the work is guaranteed.
