About our toilet chip repair in Monks Eleigh
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. We work on vitreous china, cisterns & lids and pedestals, and common reasons people get in touch are damage from dropped items and marks on the outside of the pan.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Monks Eleigh and across Suffolk. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Advice
Questions from Monks Eleigh
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new toilet needs 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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What we cannot put right

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Vitreous china
- Porcelain
- Toilet pans
- Pedestals
- Cisterns & lids
What toilet chip repair costs
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Monks Eleigh. What changes the price is:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
- Access to the area
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:
- A wider photo showing the entire toilet
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Monks Eleigh, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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 typically cheaper.
