Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.
About our toilet chip repair in Merrybent
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We work on vitreous china, toilet pans and porcelain, and people most often call us about pieces knocked off during fitting and damage from dropped items.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Merrybent as everywhere else we work. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Merrybent: your questions answered
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
How much does toilet chip repair cost in Merrybent?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole toilet and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote, typically with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Merrybent.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
When a repair isn’t the answer
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- 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
- Porcelain
- Pedestals
- Cisterns & lids
