Should you replace it?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Toilet chip repair in Tunstall without replacing anything
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 will say so if we find one. If you are dealing with chips on the pan or rim and marks on the outside of the pan, we can generally put it right, on pedestals, toilet pans and porcelain alike.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What we cannot put right
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Cisterns & lids
- Toilet pans
- Vitreous china
- Pedestals
- Porcelain

How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Tunstall. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
