About our toilet chip repair in Scotter
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. Our technicians work on toilet pans, porcelain and vitreous china, and people most frequently call us about damage from dropped items and marks on the outside of the pan.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Repairing versus replacing in Scotter
Replacing a toilet needs 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, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

When to call us in Scotter

- Chips on the cistern lid
- Marks on the outside of the pan

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes an hour or two. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have a window or extractor fan available
