DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
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 generally the cheaper route.
Toilet chip repair at your home in Prestwich
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. We’re frequently asked to fix damage from dropped items and chips on the cistern lid, on porcelain, vitreous china and pedestals.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Pedestals
- Toilet pans
- Cisterns & lids
- Porcelain
- Vitreous china
Why repair rather than replace?
A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Prestwich. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
