Toilet chip repair in Lackford without replacing anything
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. If you are dealing with damage from dropped items and marks on the outside of the pan, we can help, on porcelain, pedestals and vitreous china alike.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

How we price toilet chip repair
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the entire toilet
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
Send us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Lackford, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
What we do, step by step
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes one to two hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Common problems we fix in Lackford
Toilets and cisterns generally get chipped during fitting, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly frequently.
People normally call us when they notice one of these:
- Damage from dropped items
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Marks on the outside of the pan
What to look for in a quote
- Who turns up on the day
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Why book with us
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- No need to remove anything
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- Colour-matched on site

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
