Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your DE24 postcode.

About our toilet chip repair in Osmaston
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Typical jobs include chips on the cistern lid and damage from dropped items, in toilet pans, cisterns & lids and vitreous china.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

What toilet chip repair costs
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It typically takes an hour or two, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- The glaze is colour matched and finished.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
