Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Whether it’s damage from dropped items and chips on the cistern lid, we can typically put it right.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Over Kellet questions
What about a leaking crack?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
How much does toilet chip repair cost in Over Kellet?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
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 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. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Over Kellet. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What toilet chip repair costs
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the whole toilet
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
For a price in Over Kellet, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
The process
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take one to two hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
