Toilet chip repair at your home in Matching Tye
We rebuild the damaged area and match it 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. Typical jobs include pieces knocked off during fitting and damage from dropped items, across porcelain, cisterns & lids and pedestals.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll 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.

Repairing versus replacing in Matching Tye
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Something in shot to show the size

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Matching Tye
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
What about a leaking crack?
No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, so Matching Tye is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
