Toilet chip repair at your home in Highnam
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that is what we find. Whether it’s chips on the pan or rim and chips on the cistern lid, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What toilet chip repair costs
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the entire toilet
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole toilet, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Highnam
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes one to two hours in most cases. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Ask for a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire toilet, we can price the job.

Common problems we fix in Highnam
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly frequently.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Chips on the pan or rim
Questions to ask before booking
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What aftercare is recommended
Should you replace it?
A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
