Toilet chip repair at your home in Shortlands
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. Common call-outs are for chips on the pan or rim and pieces knocked off during fitting, on toilet pans, cisterns & lids and pedestals.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow an hour or two, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Related advice
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What affects the price in Shortlands
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Shortlands. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the entire toilet
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

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 a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
What a repair cannot fix
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- 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 photos and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Cisterns & lids
- Porcelain
- Pedestals
- Toilet pans
- Vitreous china
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
