Toilet chip repair in Imeraval without replacing anything
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Whether it’s damage from dropped items and marks on the outside of the pan, we can help.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new toilet means 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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Imeraval. What changes the price is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Imeraval. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
