About our toilet chip repair in Tinsley Green
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, 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, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Repairing versus replacing in Tinsley Green
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What affects the price in Tinsley Green
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Tinsley Green. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the entire toilet
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

- A crack that leaks water
