About our toilet chip repair in Kneeton
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, 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. We regularly repair toilet pans, porcelain and vitreous china, and common reasons people get in touch are damage from dropped items and pieces knocked off during fitting.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
- Access to the area
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole toilet, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
What we are called out for in Kneeton
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids are a common casualty.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Damage from dropped items
- Chips on the cistern lid
What your quote should include
- When it can be used again
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What happens if they find more damage
When we’d advise against a repair
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Toilet pans
- Pedestals
- Cisterns & lids
