What toilet chip repair costs
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
How we handle toilet chip repair in Tilgate
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 you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Typical jobs include chips on the cistern lid and chips on the pan or rim, on cisterns & lids, toilet pans and pedestals.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. 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 photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

The process
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job 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.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- The glaze is colour matched and finished.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

How do I book?

Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
What a repair cannot fix
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- 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.
What we work on
- Pedestals
- Vitreous china
- Cisterns & lids
- Toilet pans
- Porcelain
Do you need toilet chip repair in Tilgate?
Toilets and cisterns generally get chipped during fitting, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids are a common casualty.
Customers generally contact us about:
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Damage from dropped items
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Marks on the outside of the pan
What your quote should include
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How long it needs to cure
- How the room is protected while they work
- How changes to the job are handled
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
