Toilet chip repair in Chiddingstone Hoath without replacing anything
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 say so if we find one. We work on porcelain, cisterns & lids and pedestals, and common reasons people contact us are chips on the pan or rim and marks on the outside of the pan.
In a village like Chiddingstone Hoath, older cottages sometimes have period basins and toilets, which are worth repairing rather than replacing. We repair around makers’ marks where we can.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from photos
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the whole toilet

Repairing versus replacing in Chiddingstone Hoath
A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. In an older home in a village like Chiddingstone Hoath, replacing a toilet can be harder than it sounds: original pieces may not match modern sizes, and access can be awkward. A repair keeps the original.
Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
