Toilet chip repair in Smallbridge, done in place
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’s what we find. Common call-outs are for marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the cistern lid, on vitreous china, cisterns & lids and pedestals.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

How we price toilet chip repair
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the whole toilet
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
