About our toilet chip repair in Shotley
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. We’re frequently asked to fix marks on the outside of the pan and pieces knocked off during fitting, on porcelain, vitreous china and pedestals.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Shotley and across Suffolk. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes an hour or two. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know about parking or access
- Clear the area around the damage

How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Shotley. What changes the price is:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send pictures for a quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole toilet, we can give you a fixed quote.

What else we do in Shotley
Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Should you replace it?
A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Shotley. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
