Toilet chip repair at your home in The Valley
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. Our repair technicians work on cisterns & lids, pedestals and porcelain, and people most often call us about chips on the cistern lid and marks on the outside of the pan.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to The Valley. The price comes down to:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Email us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your ME13 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
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. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
