Toilet Chip Repair for Chatham homes
Our technicians come to Chatham for chip and break repairs to toilets, cisterns and other ceramics. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Repairs from £95
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Damage from dropped items
Toilet chip repair in Chatham, done in place
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. If you’re dealing with chips on the cistern lid and damage from dropped items, we can help, on cisterns & lids, porcelain and toilet pans alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.
What affects the price in Chatham
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Chatham. What changes the price is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- 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.
Surfaces we repair
- Toilet pans
- Cisterns & lids
- Pedestals
