What toilet chip repair costs
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
- A photo taken from further back
There’s no need for us to visit first. 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.
Toilet chip repair at your home in Kirby Hill
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that is what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. We regularly repair pedestals, porcelain and toilet pans, and the jobs we see most are marks on the outside of the pan and damage from dropped items.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

- What happens if they find more damage
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether they match the colour on site
How it works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes an hour or two. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Clear the area around the damage
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price

Advice
Landlord and trade work in Kirby Hill
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kirby Hill use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Repairing versus replacing in Kirby Hill
