How we handle toilet chip repair in Morningside
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Our repair technicians work on porcelain, pedestals and vitreous china, and common reasons people contact us are chips on the cistern lid and marks on the outside of the pan.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Morningside and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What else we do in Morningside
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Something in shot to show the size
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Morningside
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It normally takes one to two hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
