DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Toilet chip repair at your home in Lochhill
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’ll tell you if that is what we find. Common call-outs are for damage from dropped items and marks on the outside of the pan, in vitreous china, pedestals and porcelain.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will 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.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Lochhill. The price reflects:
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Quotes from your pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A photo taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire toilet, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
When we would advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Vitreous china
- Porcelain

Should you replace it?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
