Toilet chip repair in Ventnor without replacing anything
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. Our technicians work on porcelain, toilet pans and pedestals, and people most frequently call us about chips on the pan or rim and chips on the cistern lid.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Repairing versus replacing in Ventnor
Replacing a toilet means 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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

What toilet chip repair costs
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Ventnor. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A photo taken from further back
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take one to two hours, including clearing up.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Ask for a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
