About our toilet chip repair in Toab
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. Our technicians work on toilet pans, cisterns & lids and porcelain, and people most often call us about damage from dropped items and chips on the cistern lid.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What toilet chip repair costs
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
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.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Questions from Toab
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, so Toab is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Toab.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

What else we do in Toab
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. We do not add 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.

The process
We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes one to two hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know about parking or access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Advice
Common problems we fix in Toab

- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Damage from dropped items
- Chips on the cistern lid
What your quote should include
- How the colour is matched
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How soon you can use it again
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in the Shetland Islands and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
When we’d advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Vitreous china
- Cisterns & lids
- Pedestals
- Toilet pans
- Porcelain

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
