How we handle toilet chip repair in Shotgate
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. We’re often asked to fix chips on the pan or rim and marks on the outside of the pan, on vitreous china, cisterns & lids and porcelain.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the entire toilet
Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Shotgate, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
What a repair can’t fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- 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 before booking.
What we work on
- Cisterns & lids
- Vitreous china
- Pedestals
- Porcelain
- Toilet pans
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.
Repair or replace in Shotgate?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
What you get with us
