Toilet chip repair in The Rigg without replacing anything
Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. Whether it’s damage from dropped items and chips on the cistern lid, we can help, on pedestals, toilet pans 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. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
What toilet chip repair costs
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to The Rigg. The price comes down to:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for The Rigg. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the whole toilet
- Details of any past repairs
Upload photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in The Rigg, and we will reply with a fixed price.
What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes an hour or two, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Open a window if you can
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed 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, a professional repair is worth it.
The Rigg questions
Do you work in The Rigg?
We do. We send a technician to The Rigg for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
When to call us in The Rigg
Toilets and cisterns generally get chipped during fitting, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids are a common casualty.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Damage from dropped items
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Marks on the outside of the pan
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the price covers travel
- Who will actually do the work
- How the colour is matched
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
