Toilet chip repair in Upton, done in place
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. Whether it’s damage from dropped items and chips on the pan or rim, we can help, on cisterns & lids, porcelain and toilet pans alike.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
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 will not last.

What affects the price in Upton
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Upton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A wider photo showing the entire toilet
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for an hour or two from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- 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.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price
