About our toilet chip repair in Scales
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that is what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Whether it’s chips on the cistern lid and damage from dropped items, we can help, on vitreous china, cisterns & lids and toilet pans alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Repairing versus replacing in Scales
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.

When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’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)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair

Scales questions
How much does toilet chip repair cost in Scales?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
What about a leaking crack?
No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
Do you work in Scales?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Scales. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
What toilet chip repair costs
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
We price from pictures 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, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
