Toilet chip repair at your home in Upton
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. Our repair technicians work on cisterns & lids, vitreous china and pedestals, and the jobs we see most are damage from dropped items and chips on the cistern lid.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
For landlords and businesses
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.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Repairing versus replacing in Upton
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

What does toilet chip repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Can you price it without visiting?

When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- 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’ll tell you honestly before you book.
