Toilet chip repair at your home in Shirley
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. 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 marks on the outside of the pan and damage from dropped items, on porcelain, pedestals and vitreous china.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It usually takes one to two hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Ask for a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

What toilet chip repair costs
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Shirley. What changes the price is:
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What a repair can’t fix
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

Repair or replace in Shirley?
A new toilet means 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. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Why us?
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Colour mixed on the day to match
