About our toilet chip repair in Upton
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. Whether it’s damage from dropped items and marks on the outside of the pan, we can generally put it right.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Common questions in Upton
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Are there extra charges for Upton?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Do you work in Upton?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Upton. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send photos for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the entire toilet
- Any details about the material
Upload a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Upton, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Upton use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Repairing versus replacing in Upton
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. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Upton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why us?
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- No need to remove anything
See our pricing.
The process
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes an hour or two, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
