Repair or replace: which is better?
A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Toilet chip repair in Asheldham without replacing anything
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that is what we find. We regularly repair toilet pans, cisterns & lids and porcelain, 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 in Asheldham and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
- The material
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A photo taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

What happens on the day
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It normally takes an hour or two, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
Advice
Questions from Asheldham
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Can I fix it myself?
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
