DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
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 Linwood
We rebuild the damaged area and match it 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. We’re often asked to fix damage from dropped items and marks on the outside of the pan, across vitreous china, cisterns & lids and pedestals.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

How the visit works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to one to two hours, including clearing up.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- The glaze is colour matched and finished.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole toilet, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Questions from Linwood
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Are there extra charges for Linwood?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can you repair a chipped toilet?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
What about a leaking crack?
No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
How do I get a price for toilet chip repair in Linwood?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the whole toilet
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
