Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Damage from dropped items
- Marks on the outside of the pan

Toilet chip repair at your home in Smoo
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 will say so if we find one. We regularly repair porcelain, vitreous china and cisterns & lids, and people most frequently call us about pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the pan or rim.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
When we’d advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- 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 before booking.
What we work on
- Pedestals
- Porcelain
- Cisterns & lids
- Toilet pans
- Vitreous china

Questions from Smoo
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
How we price toilet chip repair
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A wider photo showing the entire toilet
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole toilet, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take an hour or two, tidy-up included.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Open a window if you can
Getting a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire toilet, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
