Toilet chip repair in West Pilton, done in place
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 say so if we find one. We work on vitreous china, cisterns & lids and toilet pans, and people most frequently call us about chips on the cistern lid and chips on the pan or rim.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What toilet chip repair costs

- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
- The material and finish

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:

- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
