Toilet chip repair at your home in Stone
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 work on vitreous china, toilet pans and cisterns & lids, and the jobs we see most are pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the cistern lid.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Take care with 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. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Stone: your questions answered
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, so Stone is covered. Prices do not change with location.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
What about a leaking crack?
No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What toilet chip repair costs
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
What we do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes one to two hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
