Advice
Toilet chip repair at your home in Water Run
Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. We are often asked to fix marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the cistern lid, in cisterns & lids, pedestals and porcelain.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What affects the price in Water Run
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Water Run. The price reflects:
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the entire toilet
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Repairing versus replacing in Water Run
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. 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.

Can I fix it myself?
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.
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.
