Advice
About our toilet chip repair in Lyatts
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that is what we find. If you are dealing with damage from dropped items and chips on the pan or rim, we can usually put it right, on porcelain, vitreous china and cisterns & lids alike.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

For landlords and businesses
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 to keep costs down.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the whole toilet
- Where you are, by postcode
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Common questions in Lyatts
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
How do I book?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
What does toilet chip repair cost?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What a repair cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Vitreous china
- Porcelain
- Toilet pans
- Pedestals
- Cisterns & lids
Should you replace it?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
Do you need toilet chip repair in Lyatts?
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly frequently.
Look out for these signs:
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Damage from dropped items
Questions to ask before you book
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- When it can be used again
- How changes to the job are handled
