Toilet chip repair at your home in Matshead
Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. Whether it’s chips on the cistern lid and damage from dropped items, we can help, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
How it works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to an hour or two.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- The glaze is colour matched and finished.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole toilet, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
If you are in Matshead and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
If you manage property in Matshead, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
Repair or replace in Matshead?
A new 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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Questions from Matshead
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Can you repair a chipped toilet?
Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
How much does toilet chip repair cost in Matshead?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
