Toilet chip repair in Minster without replacing anything
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. Our technicians work on cisterns & lids, toilet pans and vitreous china, and people most frequently call us about damage from dropped items and pieces knocked off during fitting.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes an hour or two. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
