Toilet chip repair at your home in Steelend
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, 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. We regularly repair vitreous china, pedestals and porcelain, and people most often call us about chips on the cistern lid and marks on the outside of the pan.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
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.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What affects the price in Steelend
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the whole toilet
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Steelend
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
