Toilet chip repair at your home in California
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’ll tell you if that’s what we find. We work on porcelain, pedestals and cisterns & lids, and the jobs we see most are pieces knocked off during fitting and marks on the outside of the pan.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in California as everywhere else we work. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

When a repair isn’t the answer
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)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

California questions
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

What toilet chip repair costs
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to California. The price comes down to:
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Can I fix it myself?
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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Landlords, agents and businesses in California
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow an hour or two. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Ask for a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
