Toilet chip repair at your home in Symington
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that is what we find. We regularly repair cisterns & lids, vitreous china and porcelain, and the jobs we see most are damage from dropped items and chips on the pan or rim.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

The process
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow an hour or two from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to look after it.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
How we price toilet chip repair
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Symington: your questions answered
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Do you come to Symington?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Symington from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a toilet means 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. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
