How we handle toilet chip repair in Publow
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. We work on toilet pans, porcelain and vitreous china, and common reasons people contact us are pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the pan or rim.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Publow
What does toilet chip repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

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.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Publow. What changes the price is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A photo taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Publow

- The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
