Toilet chip repair in Illogan Highway, done in place
Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. Our repair technicians work on porcelain, pedestals and cisterns & lids, and common reasons people get in touch are marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the cistern lid.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Should you replace it?

Related advice
Can I fix it myself?
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, and the work is guaranteed.
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 generally cheaper.
