Toilet chip repair in Pelton without replacing anything
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll 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. Common call-outs are for marks on the outside of the pan and damage from dropped items, across pedestals, vitreous china and cisterns & lids.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- The glaze is colour matched and finished.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new toilet means 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. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

When a repair isn’t the answer

What toilet chip repair costs
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Something in shot to show the size
