DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
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.
How we handle toilet chip repair in Ashford Common
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Our repair technicians work on pedestals, porcelain and vitreous china, and common reasons people get in touch are pieces knocked off during fitting and marks on the outside of the pan.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.

Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you cover Ashford Common?
We do. We send a technician to Ashford Common for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

- The type of damage
A repair typically 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
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the entire toilet
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.
The process
You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take an hour or two, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
