About our toilet chip repair in Sholden Meadows
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. Typical jobs include chips on the cistern lid and marks on the outside of the pan, in vitreous china, toilet pans and cisterns & lids.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What toilet chip repair costs
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Sholden Meadows. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the whole toilet
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Landlord and trade work in Sholden Meadows
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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, and the work is guaranteed.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Common questions in Sholden Meadows
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different 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.

Related advice
Should you replace it?
A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
