Toilet & ceramic chip repair in Botany Bay, Greater London
Local toilet chip repair for Botany Bay: a fixed quote from photos, a tidy visit and a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95

Toilet chip repair in Botany Bay without replacing anything
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. Common call-outs are for damage from dropped items and chips on the cistern lid, across cisterns & lids, vitreous china and pedestals.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the entire toilet
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole toilet, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
What we do, step by step
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take one to two hours. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice
What we’re called out for in Botany Bay

- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Chips on the pan or rim

- How your room will be protected
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
