How we handle toilet chip repair in Sawmills
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. We’re often asked to fix chips on the pan or rim and pieces knocked off during fitting, on porcelain, pedestals and toilet pans.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

The process
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take an hour or two. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear the area around the damage
- Open a window if you can

How we price toilet chip repair
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Sawmills. The price reflects:
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
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’ll get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the whole toilet
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your DE56 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
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. A repair leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

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