What toilet chip repair costs
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send photos for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole toilet, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Toilet chip repair at your home in Sunnymead
Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. Our repair technicians work on vitreous china, cisterns & lids and toilet pans, and people most frequently call us about chips on the pan or rim and marks on the outside of the pan.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Common questions in Sunnymead
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
How do I book?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.
Do you work in Sunnymead?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Sunnymead. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Common problems we fix in Sunnymead
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly frequently.

- Chips on the pan or rim
What your quote should include

- How changes to the job are handled

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

Repair or replace in Sunnymead?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
