Toilet chip repair at your home in Read
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Whether it’s chips on the cistern lid and pieces knocked off during fitting, we can usually put it right, on pedestals, toilet pans and cisterns & lids alike.
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 clean the outside of the pan gently.

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Read
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Do you come to Read?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Read from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take an hour or two, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Ask for a price

What toilet chip repair costs
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Read. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the whole toilet
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What we can’t put right
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 pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Pedestals
- Cisterns & lids
- Toilet pans
- Vitreous china
- Porcelain
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
