Toilet chip repair in Horley, done in place
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. 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 chips on the cistern lid, across pedestals, vitreous china and toilet pans.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

How we price toilet chip repair
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
If you’re in Horley and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Common problems we fix in Horley
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids are a common casualty.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Damage from dropped items
- Marks on the outside of the pan
What to look for in a quote
- How the colour is matched
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How soon you can use it again

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
