Toilet chip repair at your home in Clay Common
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We work on pedestals, toilet pans and porcelain, and the jobs we see most are damage from dropped items and pieces knocked off during fitting.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Questions from Clay Common
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

- We match the colour to the glaze.

What we cannot put right
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Vitreous china
- Pedestals
- Porcelain
- Toilet pans
- Cisterns & lids
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 fails, we can still put it right.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Should you replace it?
A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. 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
Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the entire toilet
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.
When to call us in Clay Common
