What toilet chip repair costs
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Details of any past repairs
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit

- A close-up of the damage, in focus
If you’re in Thornton and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Toilet chip repair in Thornton, done in place
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We regularly repair pedestals, vitreous china and toilet pans, and common reasons people get in touch are pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the pan or rim.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Thornton and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

For landlords and businesses
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
What we’re called out for in Thornton
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly often.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Damage from dropped items
- Chips on the pan or rim
What your quote should include
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Aftercare advice
How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes one to two hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Should you replace it?
A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Why book with us
- Everything repaired in place
- Typically one visit, start to finish

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
What a repair can’t fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We 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 pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Pedestals
- Cisterns & lids
