About our toilet chip repair in Skimpot
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 say so if we find one. We regularly repair pedestals, vitreous china and cisterns & lids, and common reasons people contact us are chips on the pan or rim and chips on the cistern lid.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What toilet chip repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
How to get a fixed price
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.
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.
Common questions in Skimpot
What happens after I send photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.

Repair or replace in Skimpot?
A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Skimpot. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
