Toilet chip repair at your home in Waitby
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 will tell you if that’s what we find. If you are dealing with chips on the cistern lid and chips on the pan or rim, we can typically put it right.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A photo taken from further back
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
When we would advise against a repair
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

When to call us in Waitby
Toilets and cisterns typically get chipped during fitting, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly frequently.
Most people contact us after spotting something like this:
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
What your quote should include
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What aftercare is recommended
Should you replace it?
Replacing a toilet needs 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. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
What you get with us
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Fixed prices from your photos
- No need to remove anything
- Honest advice, even when it means no job

What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes one to two hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
