Toilet chip repair in Highstreet, done in place
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We are often asked to fix marks on the outside of the pan and pieces knocked off during fitting, in vitreous china, toilet pans and porcelain.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

When a repair isn’t the answer
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Repairing versus replacing in Highstreet
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
How it works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes an hour or two. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Ask for a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
