Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Toilet chip repair in The Raikes, done in place
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. If you are dealing with damage from dropped items and marks on the outside of the pan, we can normally put it right, on toilet pans, pedestals and cisterns & lids alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

How we price toilet chip repair
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- One picture of the entire toilet
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
When to call us in The Raikes
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly frequently.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
What to look for in a quote

- How soon you can use it again
How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which typically takes one to two hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Related advice
Should you replace it?
Replacing a toilet means 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. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for The Raikes. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why us?
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Questions from The Raikes
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
How do I get a price for toilet chip repair in The Raikes?
