Toilet chip repair in Ashford without replacing anything
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that is what we find. Whether it’s chips on the pan or rim and damage from dropped items, we can help, whatever the material.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.
Ashford: your questions answered
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

When a repair isn’t the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- 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’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Ashford. The price depends on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
- Access to the area
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which generally takes one to two hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Get a quote
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Advice
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. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Why us?
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Same prices wherever you are
- We leave the room as we found it
- Colour mixed on the day to match

Common problems we fix in Ashford
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids are a common casualty.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Damage from dropped items
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What preparation is included
- When it can be used again
- How to look after the finish
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
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.
