Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Porcelain
- Vitreous china
- Cisterns & lids
- Toilet pans
- Pedestals
How we handle toilet chip repair in Barbican Estate
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that is what we find. If you’re dealing with chips on the pan or rim and marks on the outside of the pan, we can typically put it right, on porcelain, pedestals and vitreous china alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Repairing versus replacing in Barbican Estate
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Barbican Estate. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
What you get with us
- Same prices wherever you are
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

How it works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes one to two hours. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
How to get a price
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 you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
