Should you replace it?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Toilet chip repair in Idle without replacing anything
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. If you’re dealing with pieces knocked off during fitting and marks on the outside of the pan, we can help, on vitreous china, porcelain and cisterns & lids alike.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

- We sand the repair level.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A wider photo showing the whole toilet
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire toilet, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
When we’d advise against a repair
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- 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.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
FAQs for Idle
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Idle. Prices don’t change with location.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
How much does toilet chip repair cost in Idle?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
