How we price toilet chip repair
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
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 will get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A photo taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Toilet chip repair in Vidlin, done in place
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched 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’s what we find. Typical jobs include damage from dropped items and chips on the cistern lid, across vitreous china, pedestals and cisterns & lids.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Signs you need toilet chip repair in Vidlin
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly often.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Damage from dropped items
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Chips on the pan or rim
Questions to ask before you book
- How changes to the job are handled
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether a trained technician does the job
When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, 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)
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Vitreous china
- Pedestals

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
