Toilet chip repair in Smeeton Westerby without replacing anything
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Our technicians work on vitreous china, cisterns & lids and porcelain, and people most often call us about pieces knocked off during fitting and marks on the outside of the pan.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. 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 pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
For a price in Smeeton Westerby, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
