When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Pedestals
- Toilet pans
- Porcelain
- Vitreous china
- Cisterns & lids
About our toilet chip repair in Hillend
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that is what we find. If you’re dealing with marks on the outside of the pan and pieces knocked off during fitting, we can usually put it right, on pedestals, cisterns & lids and porcelain alike.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Common problems we fix in Hillend
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids are a common casualty.
People normally call us when they notice one of these:
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Damage from dropped items
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
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.
What toilet chip repair costs
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the entire toilet
- What it’s made of, if you know
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Repairing versus replacing in Hillend
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
