About our toilet chip repair in Priory Heath
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We’re frequently asked to fix damage from dropped items and chips on the cistern lid, on porcelain, vitreous china and toilet pans.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What a repair can’t fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’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)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What toilet chip repair costs
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the whole toilet
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper 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.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Priory Heath questions
Do I need to be at home?

What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
