Toilet chip repair in Peterborough, done in place
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. Our repair technicians work on toilet pans, pedestals and vitreous china, and common reasons people get in touch are chips on the pan or rim and marks on the outside of the pan.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Peterborough. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Should you replace it?
A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Related advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
FAQs for Peterborough

What does toilet chip repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your PE2 postcode.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
What about a leaking crack?
No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.
