About our toilet chip repair in Smelthouses
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. Common call-outs are for damage from dropped items and chips on the cistern lid, on pedestals, toilet pans and vitreous china.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
Smelthouses questions
Can you repair a chipped toilet?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Can you quote from pictures?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Smelthouses included. Travel is included in the price.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
What you get with us

- Fixed prices from your photos

How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
