What toilet chip repair costs
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Toilet chip repair at your home in St Boswells
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. We regularly repair cisterns & lids, vitreous china and toilet pans, and the jobs we see most are marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the cistern lid.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Your questions about toilet chip repair in St Boswells
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can you quote from photos?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How do I get a price for toilet chip repair in St Boswells?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
