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, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Toilet chip repair at your home in Littlemore
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. Whether it’s damage from dropped items and marks on the outside of the pan, we can typically put it right, on cisterns & lids, toilet pans and pedestals alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What toilet chip repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the entire toilet
- Any details about the material
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Related advice
Should you replace it?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair 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 play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
