How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
We price from photos so you do not 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, and you will get a fixed figure back.
About our toilet chip repair in Ribbleton
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 do not need a plumber or a new toilet. If you are dealing with chips on the cistern lid and chips on the pan or rim, we can usually put it right.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.
Common problems we fix in Ribbleton
Toilets and cisterns typically get chipped during fitting, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly often.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Damage from dropped items
- Chips on the cistern lid

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Questions from Ribbleton
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
What about a leaking crack?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take an hour or two.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price
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. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
