Toilet chip repair in Minions without replacing anything

Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We are frequently asked to fix chips on the cistern lid and marks on the outside of the pan, across vitreous china, porcelain and pedestals.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

How we price toilet chip repair

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Send photos for a quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

When to call us in Minions

Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids are a common casualty.

People generally call us after spotting something like this:

  • Chips on the cistern lid
  • Chips on the pan or rim
  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Damage from dropped items

What to look for in a quote

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

10 questions to ask before booking

Should you replace it?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What you get with us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Take a look at our full price list.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Landlord and trade work in Minions

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Minions use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes one to two hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How to get a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire toilet, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

Advice

Minions: your questions answered

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

What about a leaking crack?

No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.

When we would advise against a repair

We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Toilet pans
  • Porcelain
  • Cisterns & lids
  • Vitreous china
  • Pedestals
