What toilet chip repair costs

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

How it works

You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It normally takes an hour or two, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Should you replace it?

A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Read our prices page.

When a repair is not the answer

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • A crack that leaks water
  • A crack through the bowl or trap
  • A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Vitreous china
  • Pedestals
  • Toilet pans
  • Cisterns & lids
  • Porcelain
