About our toilet chip repair in Sideway
We rebuild the damaged area and match it 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. We regularly repair vitreous china, toilet pans and porcelain, and people most frequently call us about damage from dropped items and chips on the cistern lid.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Sideway as everywhere else we work. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

FAQs for Sideway
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole toilet and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
What affects the price in Sideway
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Honest limits
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- 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 pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Vitreous china
- Porcelain
- Pedestals
- Toilet pans
- Cisterns & lids
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
What we’re called out for in Sideway
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids are a common casualty.
The things customers usually mention when they call are:
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Damage from dropped items
- Marks on the outside of the pan
Before you book anyone
- How to care for the finish
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What protection goes down before work starts
Should you replace it?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Sideway. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why book with us
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Same prices wherever you are
- No need to remove anything
