Typical jobs include chips on the pan or rim and chips on the cistern lid, across porcelain, pedestals and vitreous china.

How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Repair or replace in Layer Breton?
A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. For a rural home like those around Layer Breton, a replacement means trades travelling out and waste being taken away, while toilet chip repair is one trip.
Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

The process
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take one to two hours, and we leave the room as we found it. For a rural address like Layer Breton, we plan the journey in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring everything needed for the toilet chip repair, so there is no second trip.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole toilet, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Advice
When to call us in Layer Breton
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly frequently.
The things customers generally mention when they call include:
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Damage from dropped items
If you let a flat or house near Marks Tey station (about 4 miles north-west), we repair toilets between tenancies so it’s ready to let again quickly.
What your quote should include
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What preparation is included
- How to look after the finish
- Who turns up on the day
What toilet chip repair costs
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A photo taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
What a repair cannot fix
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Porcelain
- Pedestals

Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
