FAQs for Upton
What does toilet chip repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Toilet chip repair in Upton, done in place
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. Typical jobs include chips on the cistern lid and damage from dropped items, in toilet pans, cisterns & lids and porcelain.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 is not prepared the repair won’t last.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
When we’d advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- 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 will say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Cisterns & lids
- Toilet pans
- Porcelain
- Pedestals
- Vitreous china
Why repair rather than replace?
A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

What toilet chip repair costs
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the entire toilet
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.
The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow one to two hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know about parking or access
How to get a price
If you are in Upton and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.
