How we handle toilet chip repair in Swingate
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. We regularly repair cisterns & lids, pedestals and vitreous china, and the jobs we see most are marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the cistern lid.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Nottinghamshire. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What toilet chip repair costs
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire toilet, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

Should you replace it?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
