How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Snowgate Head. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Signs you need toilet chip repair in Snowgate Head

- Chips on the pan or rim
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Damage from dropped items

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
