DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Toilet chip repair at your home in Newcastle-under-Lyme
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. We regularly repair vitreous china, pedestals and porcelain, and people most often call us about chips on the cistern lid and chips on the pan or rim.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Newcastle-under-Lyme as everywhere else we work. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the entire toilet
- What it’s made of, if you know
Most customers in Newcastle-under-Lyme get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
