Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Tormore. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Toilet chip repair at your home in Tormore
Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. Whether it’s marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the pan or rim, we can generally put it right.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Highland. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Tormore use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How we price toilet chip repair
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
How it works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take one to two hours. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Ask for a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
Tormore: your questions answered
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do you come to Tormore?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Tormore and the rest of Highland. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can you repair a chipped toilet?
Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
When we would 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)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Vitreous china
- Pedestals
- Toilet pans
- Porcelain
- Cisterns & lids
