About our toilet chip repair in Chainhurst
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We’re often asked to fix pieces knocked off during fitting and damage from dropped items, across pedestals, toilet pans and vitreous china.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

How we price toilet chip repair
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Chainhurst. The price reflects:
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
- The material
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send photos for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A photo taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Should you replace it?
A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Chainhurst. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
The process
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes an hour or two. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole toilet, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
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.
What we can’t put right
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t 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’ll say what we think before you book.
