Chips are rebuilt and colour matched 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’s what we find. Typical jobs include chips on the pan or rim and damage from dropped items, on toilet pans, vitreous china and pedestals.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Newington Butts as everywhere else we work. Avoid dropping 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 keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Newington Butts as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

What toilet chip repair costs

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish

Every job is a little different, 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.

Send photos for a quote

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole toilet, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
