How we handle toilet chip repair in Charlton
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. Our technicians work on pedestals, toilet pans and vitreous china, and the jobs we see most are chips on the cistern lid and damage from dropped items.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What happens on the day
You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It generally takes an hour or two, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Charlton: your questions answered
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
How much does toilet chip repair cost in Charlton?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do you come to Charlton?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Charlton. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Repair or replace in Charlton?
A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
What a repair can’t fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. 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)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Toilet pans
- Cisterns & lids
- Vitreous china
- Porcelain
- Pedestals

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the entire toilet
Upload pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your TW17 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
