How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Toilet chip repair in North Close, done in place
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Common call-outs are for marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the pan or rim, across vitreous china, porcelain and cisterns & lids.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in North Close and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

FAQs for North Close
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide. Prices don’t change with location.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.
What does toilet chip repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your DL16 postcode.
Do you cover North Close?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to North Close. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Letting agents often send us photos 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.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, 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.
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.

What else we do in North Close
Common problems we fix in North Close
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids are a common casualty.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Damage from dropped items
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
Comparing quotes
- If travel is included in the price
- What prep work is covered
- How your room will be protected
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
Why repair rather than replace?
A new 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. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
