- Chips on the cistern lid
- Marks on the outside of the pan
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
About our toilet chip repair in Pennington
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. Whether it’s marks on the outside of the pan and pieces knocked off during fitting, we can generally put it right.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Should you replace it?
A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Pennington. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

When we would advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Cisterns & lids
- Vitreous china
- Toilet pans
- Porcelain
- Pedestals
What toilet chip repair costs
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
Most customers in Pennington get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Common problems we fix in Pennington
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly often.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Marks on the outside of the pan
Comparing quotes
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- How your room will be protected
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How long it needs to cure
