DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Toilet chip repair in Blackwater without replacing anything
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. Whether it’s chips on the cistern lid and pieces knocked off during fitting, we can help.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Landlord and trade work in Blackwater
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow one to two hours from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

FAQs for Blackwater
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you repair a chipped toilet?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you quote from photos?
Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
