About our toilet chip repair in Charlton
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. If you are dealing with marks on the outside of the pan and damage from dropped items, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

How we price toilet chip repair

- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow one to two hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Ask for a price

Common questions in Charlton
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Charlton.

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
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.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Common problems we fix in Charlton
Toilets and cisterns generally get chipped during fitting, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly frequently.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Damage from dropped items
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Chips on the pan or rim
Questions to ask before booking
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Charlton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
