About our toilet chip repair in Budds
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that is what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Whether it’s chips on the cistern lid and damage from dropped items, we can usually put it right, on porcelain, pedestals and vitreous china alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
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.

- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Budds: your questions answered
Do you cover the whole of Kent?
Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire toilet and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What toilet chip repair costs
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Budds. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
What you get with us
- We leave the room as we found it
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Free fixed quotes from pictures

Honest limits
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- 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.
Surfaces we repair
- Toilet pans
- Pedestals
- Cisterns & lids
- Porcelain
- Vitreous china
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Budds use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What we are called out for in Budds
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly often.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Damage from dropped items
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Marks on the outside of the pan
What to look for in a quote
- How changes to the job are handled
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How to care for the finish
- How soon you can use it again
