Toilet chip repair in Toothill without replacing anything
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. We work on pedestals, porcelain and vitreous china, and the jobs we see most are damage from dropped items and pieces knocked off during fitting.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What affects the price in Toothill
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Toothill. The price comes down to:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A picture taken from further back
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Honest limits
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- 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 pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes one to two hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Make sure the area is dry
Ask for a price
Most customers in Toothill get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Advice
Your questions about toilet chip repair in Toothill
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
