Toilet chip repair in Ilam, done in place
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. Whether it’s chips on the cistern lid and chips on the pan or rim, we can usually put it right, on porcelain, pedestals and cisterns & lids alike.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Why repair rather than replace?
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 keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Ilam: your questions answered
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
What about a leaking crack?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What does toilet chip repair cost?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the entire toilet
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ilam as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Toilet pans
- Cisterns & lids
- Pedestals
- Porcelain
- Vitreous china
