Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a toilet means 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. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Toilet chip repair at your home in Aldwych
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Whether it’s marks on the outside of the pan and pieces knocked off during fitting, we can help, whatever the material.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What affects the price in Aldwych
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How much damage there is
- The material
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Porcelain
- Cisterns & lids
- Pedestals
- Toilet pans
- Vitreous china
What we do, step by step
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take one to two hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- 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.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
