What toilet chip repair costs
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Spike Island. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your BS3 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Toilet chip repair in Spike Island without replacing anything
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 will say so if we find one. We regularly repair toilet pans, porcelain and vitreous china, and common reasons people contact us are pieces knocked off during fitting and marks on the outside of the pan.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Common problems we fix in Spike Island
Toilets and cisterns usually get chipped during fitting, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids are a common casualty.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Damage from dropped items
- Pieces knocked off during fitting

What a repair can’t fix

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
About our accreditations · Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.
