What toilet chip repair costs
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
- A picture taken from further back
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
How we handle toilet chip repair in Temple Sowerby
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that is what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. We work on porcelain, cisterns & lids and vitreous china, and the jobs we see most are damage from dropped items and marks on the outside of the pan.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Temple Sowerby and across Cumbria. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Cumbria and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Temple Sowerby: your questions answered
What does toilet chip repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your CA10 postcode.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you come to Temple Sowerby?
We do. We send a technician to Temple Sowerby for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do you cover the entire of Cumbria?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.

Should you replace it?

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
