Toilet chip repair at your home in Barham
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We regularly repair cisterns & lids, vitreous china and porcelain, and the jobs we see most are chips on the pan or rim and marks on the outside of the pan.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Barham: your questions answered
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you cover the whole of Kent?
The entire UK, including all of Kent. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What we do, step by step
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take one to two hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

What we can’t put right

- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A picture taken from further back
Most clients in Barham get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
