Toilet chip repair at your home in Mossy Lea
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that is what we find. If you are dealing with chips on the pan or rim and chips on the cistern lid, we can normally put it right.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Mossy Lea questions
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Can you quote from pictures?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Common problems we fix in Mossy Lea
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids are a common casualty.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Damage from dropped items
- Chips on the pan or rim
What your quote should include
- Who will actually do the work
- How long it needs to cure
- Aftercare advice
- Whether they match the colour on site
How we price toilet chip repair
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the whole toilet
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
What we can’t put right
Before booking, it’s worth knowing 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)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Toilet pans
- Cisterns & lids
- Porcelain
- Pedestals
- Vitreous china
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Mossy Lea use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It typically takes an hour or two, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice
Why repair rather than replace?
A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why us?
- Colour-matched on site
- No need to remove anything
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
