How we price toilet chip repair
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
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 play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the whole toilet
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
About our toilet chip repair in Smithies
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. We’re frequently asked to fix chips on the pan or rim and pieces knocked off during fitting, on cisterns & lids, porcelain and toilet pans.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Repair or replace in Smithies?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically 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.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Smithies
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
