Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Toilet chip repair in Thomastown, done in place
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. Typical jobs include chips on the pan or rim and chips on the cistern lid, across toilet pans, vitreous china and porcelain.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Signs you need toilet chip repair in Thomastown
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly often.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Damage from dropped items
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
What toilet chip repair costs
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed price
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the whole toilet
- Natural light rather than flash
We price from pictures so you do not 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.

What a repair cannot fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Toilet pans
- Cisterns & lids
- Porcelain
- Pedestals
- Vitreous china
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
How it works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes an hour or two, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
