How we price toilet chip repair
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Tunstall. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Tunstall. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the whole toilet
- Details of any past repairs
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole toilet, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
How we handle toilet chip repair in Tunstall
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. Typical jobs include damage from dropped items and marks on the outside of the pan, across cisterns & lids, vitreous china and pedestals.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Tunstall use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- 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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

How to get a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
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.
Questions from Tunstall
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do you come to Tunstall?
We do. Technicians travel to Tunstall from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
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. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Repairing versus replacing in Tunstall
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
