How we price toilet chip repair
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send pictures for a quote
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the entire toilet
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole toilet, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Toilet chip repair in Knapwell, done in place
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. If you are dealing with marks on the outside of the pan and pieces knocked off during fitting, we can help.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Repairing versus replacing in Knapwell
A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. 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.

Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

The process
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes an hour or two, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- 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.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
