DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
About our toilet chip repair in Holwell
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Common call-outs are for damage from dropped items and marks on the outside of the pan, in vitreous china, cisterns & lids and pedestals.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
What we cannot put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we repair

Holwell questions
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
