Toilet chip repair in Irstead, done in place
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 don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Our technicians work on pedestals, vitreous china and toilet pans, and the jobs we see most are marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the cistern lid.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What toilet chip repair costs
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed price
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
