What toilet chip repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the whole toilet
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
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.
How we handle toilet chip repair in Hoe
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. Whether it’s chips on the cistern lid and chips on the pan or rim, we can help, on cisterns & lids, vitreous china and pedestals alike.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
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.
How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes one to two hours. We leave the room clean.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- The glaze is colour matched and finished.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
If you’re in Hoe and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Questions from Hoe
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You will get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Surrey.
How do I get a price for toilet chip repair in Hoe?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
What about a leaking crack?
No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
