About our toilet chip repair in Huxter
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Whether it’s chips on the pan or rim and marks on the outside of the pan, we can normally put it right, on porcelain, cisterns & lids and vitreous china alike.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Repair or replace in Huxter?
Replacing a toilet means 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. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What toilet chip repair costs
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Huxter. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- A wider photo showing the whole toilet
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire toilet, we can give you a fixed quote.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What happens on the day
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take one to two hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
