Toilet chip repair in Moorclose without replacing anything
Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. Common call-outs are for pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the cistern lid, in porcelain, pedestals and toilet pans.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a toilet needs 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. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What toilet chip repair costs
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Moorclose. The price depends on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. 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.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
What we can’t put right
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)
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Vitreous china
- Toilet pans
- Cisterns & lids
- Pedestals
- Porcelain
The process
You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It generally takes an hour or two, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- The glaze is colour matched and finished.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
