About our toilet chip repair in Upper Boat
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Common call-outs are for damage from dropped items and pieces knocked off during fitting, in vitreous china, porcelain and pedestals.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Questions from Upper Boat
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
What about a leaking crack?
No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote. You’re under no obligation.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
How much does toilet chip repair cost in Upper Boat?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

- 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 will tell you honestly.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
What you get with us
- One visit for most repairs
- A fixed quote before you book
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Rooms protected and left tidy

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
