What toilet chip repair costs
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, 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:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A photo taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
How we handle toilet chip repair in Shellow Bowells
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Common call-outs are for pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the cistern lid, in toilet pans, porcelain and vitreous china.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Common questions in Shellow Bowells
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
What we cannot put right
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Cisterns & lids
- Toilet pans
- Vitreous china
- Porcelain
- Pedestals
