Should you replace it?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Toilet chip repair in Ugley Green, done in place
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. We regularly repair vitreous china, cisterns & lids and toilet pans, and people most frequently call us about chips on the pan or rim and damage from dropped items.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the whole toilet
- Any details about the material
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Ugley Green questions
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
For anyone letting property in or around Ugley Green, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take one to two hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Open a window if you can
How to get a price
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Related advice
Can I fix it myself?
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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
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.
What we can’t put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- 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.

- Cisterns & lids
- Porcelain
