When to call us in Plaish
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly frequently.
Look out for these signs:
- Damage from dropped items
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Chips on the pan or rim
We also work for schools, leisure centres and businesses, so if you care for a building such as St Thomas of Canterbury Catholic Primary School, toilets and washrooms can be repaired in place too.

About our toilet chip repair in Plaish
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We regularly repair porcelain, vitreous china and toilet pans, and the jobs we see most are damage from dropped items and marks on the outside of the pan.
For a rural address like Plaish, tell us about access and parking, and we’ll organise the visit.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Plaish as everywhere else we work. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

When a repair isn’t the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
How we price toilet chip repair
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- A photo taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Repairing versus replacing in Plaish

Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
