Your questions about toilet chip repair in Stubwood
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
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 fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Do you cover the whole of Staffordshire?
All of Staffordshire, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
About our toilet chip repair in Stubwood
Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that is what we find. We work on vitreous china, porcelain and toilet pans, and people most frequently call us about chips on the cistern lid and marks on the outside of the pan.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What toilet chip repair costs
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Stubwood. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Stubwood. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
How the visit works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take an hour or two, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
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 send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Should you replace it?
A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

Do you need toilet chip repair in Stubwood?
Toilets and cisterns normally get chipped during fitting, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly frequently.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Chips on the pan or rim
Questions to ask before booking
- When it can be used again
- What prep work is covered
- What happens if they find more damage
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
