About our toilet chip repair in Overstone
Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. We regularly repair pedestals, vitreous china and toilet pans, and common reasons people get in touch are marks on the outside of the pan and damage from dropped items.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A photo taken from further back
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 to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Repairing versus replacing in Overstone
A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What else we do in Overstone
Overstone: your questions answered
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you repair a chipped toilet?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
What information do you need?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Signs you need toilet chip repair in Overstone
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids are a common casualty.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Damage from dropped items
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What prep work is covered
- Whether the price covers travel
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
How the visit works
You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It usually takes one to two hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
