Toilet chip repair at your home in Marks Gate
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. We work on cisterns & lids, toilet pans and pedestals, and people most frequently call us about marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the cistern lid.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Marks Gate as everywhere else we work. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What toilet chip repair costs
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. 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.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
