Toilet chip repair in Addiscombe, done in place
We rebuild the damaged area and match it 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. We work on cisterns & lids, toilet pans and pedestals, and common reasons people contact us are damage from dropped items and marks on the outside of the pan.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Details of any past repairs
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
