About our toilet chip repair in Lionel
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. Whether it’s pieces knocked off during fitting and marks on the outside of the pan, we can typically put it right, on cisterns & lids, toilet pans and vitreous china alike.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Na h-Eileanan Siar. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What toilet chip repair costs
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Lionel. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Something in shot to show the size
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Lionel, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What we are called out for in Lionel
Toilets and cisterns usually get chipped during fitting, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly often.
People normally call us when they notice something like this:
- Damage from dropped items
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Marks on the outside of the pan
Before you book anyone
- How to care for the finish
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Who will actually do the work
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
What we can’t put right
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Lionel

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
