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. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Toilet chip repair in Spital Tongues, done in place
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Whether it’s chips on the cistern lid and marks on the outside of the pan, we can help.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
How the visit works
We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes one to two hours. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

What does toilet chip repair cost?

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
