Toilet chip repair at your home in Tonge
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. If you are dealing with chips on the cistern lid and marks on the outside of the pan, we can help, on vitreous china, pedestals and cisterns & lids alike.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What affects the price in Tonge
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Tonge. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the whole toilet
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
Upload a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your ME9 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

When a repair isn’t the answer

FAQs for Tonge
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Do you work in Tonge?
We do. We send a technician to Tonge for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow one to two hours.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
