Toilet chip repair at your home in St Matthew's
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll 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 marks on the outside of the pan and damage from dropped items, we can help, whatever the material.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in St Matthew's as everywhere else we work. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Questions from St Matthew's
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do you work in St Matthew's?
We do. We send a technician to St Matthew's for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price, usually with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
What does toilet chip repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
What affects the price in St Matthew's
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Repairing versus replacing in St Matthew's
A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
