About our toilet chip repair in Terras
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that is what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Common call-outs are for chips on the pan or rim and pieces knocked off during fitting, in pedestals, cisterns & lids and vitreous china.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Terras use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your PL26 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow one to two hours.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole toilet, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Advice
When a repair is not the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

Repairing versus replacing in Terras
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
