Toilet chip repair in Old Dailly without replacing anything
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. Whether it’s chips on the pan or rim and marks on the outside of the pan, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

When we’d advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Cisterns & lids
- Porcelain
- Vitreous china
- Toilet pans
- Pedestals
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Repair or replace: which is better?
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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Old Dailly. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
