Toilet chip repair in Chattenden, done in place
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that is what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Typical jobs include chips on the cistern lid and marks on the outside of the pan, on pedestals, toilet pans and porcelain.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. 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 Chattenden. What changes the price is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the entire toilet
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your ME3 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t 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 generally the cheaper route.
What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes one to two hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. 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, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
