How we handle toilet chip repair in Medbourne
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. We work on porcelain, cisterns & lids and pedestals, and common reasons people contact us are pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the cistern lid.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Landlord and trade work in Medbourne
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What toilet chip repair costs
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
The price 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 pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Quotes from your pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Repair or replace in Medbourne?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Medbourne. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Questions from Medbourne
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Do you come to Medbourne?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Medbourne. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What a repair can’t fix
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
