How we handle toilet chip repair in Runcton
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 the toilet stays in place. Our repair technicians work on vitreous china, toilet pans and porcelain, and common reasons people contact us are chips on the pan or rim and chips on the cistern lid.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Runcton questions
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What about a leaking crack?
No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
What does toilet chip repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What we cannot put right
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair

- Porcelain
- Vitreous china

What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes one to two hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

How we price toilet chip repair
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Runcton. The price comes down to:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the whole toilet
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire toilet, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a 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. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
