Related advice
Toilet chip repair in Botany, done in place
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. Typical jobs include marks on the outside of the pan and pieces knocked off during fitting, on pedestals, porcelain and cisterns & lids.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Botany and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Landlord and trade work in Botany
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
FAQs for Botany
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a toilet means 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. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What toilet chip repair costs
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your G20 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
What we can’t put right
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- 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 pictures and we will say what we think.
