The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

- One sharp close-up of the damage
Most customers in St Peter’s get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Toilet chip repair in St Peter’s, done in place
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Common call-outs are for marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the cistern lid, on cisterns & lids, pedestals and vitreous china.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
What we are called out for in St Peter’s
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids are a common casualty.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Chips on the pan or rim

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for St Peter’s. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
