How we price toilet chip repair
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from photos
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- The material, if you know it
- A picture taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
How we handle toilet chip repair in Rathven
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Our repair technicians work on vitreous china, porcelain and cisterns & lids, and common reasons people contact us are chips on the cistern lid and marks on the outside of the pan.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

When we’d advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Rathven: your questions answered
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Can you repair a chipped toilet?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
Do you work in Rathven?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Rathven from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Moray, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes one to two hours. The room is left tidy.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Getting a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
