About our toilet chip repair in South Nitshill
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’ll tell you if that is what we find. We work on pedestals, cisterns & lids and vitreous china, and the jobs we see most are chips on the cistern lid and pieces knocked off during fitting.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

South Nitshill questions
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
What we do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes an hour or two in most cases. The room is left tidy.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Ask for a price
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your G53 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

What toilet chip repair costs
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Should you replace it?
