How we handle toilet chip repair in Common Side
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that is what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Whether it’s pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the cistern lid, we can help, on porcelain, toilet pans and cisterns & lids alike.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Questions from Common Side
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
What does toilet chip repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Common Side. Prices don’t change with location.
What a repair can’t fix
Some jobs are not right for a repair, 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)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Toilet pans
- Porcelain
- Vitreous china
- Pedestals
- Cisterns & lids
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes one to two hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice
Repairing versus replacing in Common Side
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How we price toilet chip repair
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Common Side. The price depends on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- A picture taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
