- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.

Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Common problems we fix in Tanis

For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
What toilet chip repair costs
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Tanis. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Tanis: your questions answered
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Tanis included. Travel is included in the price.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

When a repair isn’t the answer

- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
