What toilet chip repair costs
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Tenterden. The price reflects:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
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.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Toilet chip repair at your home in Tenterden
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We regularly repair vitreous china, toilet pans and cisterns & lids, and common reasons people get in touch are chips on the cistern lid and damage from dropped items.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
When we’d advise against a repair
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Porcelain
- Cisterns & lids
- Pedestals
- Toilet pans
- Vitreous china
How it works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to an hour or two.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Open a window if you can
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole toilet, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
