Toilet chip repair in St Ives without replacing anything
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. We work on porcelain, toilet pans and pedestals, and people most frequently call us about pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the pan or rim.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What does toilet chip repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your PE27 postcode.
Do you come to St Ives?
We do. We send a technician to St Ives for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Should you replace it?
A new toilet means 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. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for St Ives. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
What you get with us
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
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 generally cheaper.
What we are called out for in St Ives
Toilets and cisterns typically get chipped during fitting, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids are a common casualty.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Damage from dropped items
Questions to ask before you book
- What aftercare is recommended
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether the price covers travel
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
The process
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes one to two hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
