About our toilet chip repair in Kells
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. We are frequently asked to fix chips on the pan or rim and damage from dropped items, across toilet pans, pedestals and porcelain.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. 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’s no area surcharge for Kells. What changes the price is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A picture taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire toilet, we can give you a fixed quote.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure 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.
Landlord and trade work in Kells
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kells as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Common questions in Kells
How much does toilet chip repair cost in Kells?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What about a leaking crack?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including Kells and the rest of Cumbria. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Repair or replace in Kells?
A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

How the visit works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to one to two hours, tidy-up included.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
How to get a price
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 will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
What we can’t put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
