Toilet chip repair in Llanishen, done in place
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. We work on cisterns & lids, pedestals and vitreous china, and people most often call us about chips on the cistern lid and marks on the outside of the pan.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

Should you replace it?
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 keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
What you get with us
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- One price list for the whole UK

What toilet chip repair costs
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send pictures for a quote
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the whole toilet
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Most customers in Llanishen get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes an hour or two in most cases. The room is left tidy.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Related advice
Llanishen: your questions answered
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
What does toilet chip repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
Can you repair a chipped toilet?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
What about a leaking crack?
No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
