DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Toilet chip repair at your home in Lime Kiln
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. If you’re dealing with pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the cistern lid, we can typically put it right.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What toilet chip repair costs
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Lime Kiln. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Should you replace it?
A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
What you get with us
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- No need to remove anything
- One price list for the entire UK
- Work done at your home or business

Common questions in Lime Kiln
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Lime Kiln from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What areas do you cover?
All of Dumfries and Galloway, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
