Toilet chip repair at your home in Ibstock
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Our technicians work on vitreous china, porcelain and pedestals, and the jobs we see most are damage from dropped items and chips on the cistern lid.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Questions from Ibstock
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do you cover Ibstock?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Ibstock from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It typically takes one to two hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Ask for a price
Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your LE67 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

What toilet chip repair costs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- One picture of the whole toilet
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
