Toilet chip repair at your home in Silverdale
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Whether it’s chips on the cistern lid and damage from dropped items, we can help, on vitreous china, cisterns & lids and pedestals alike.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

For landlords and businesses
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.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
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.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How we price toilet chip repair
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- One picture of the whole toilet
- Where you are, by postcode
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your ST5 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Do you hold any accreditations?

How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
What does toilet chip repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
