About our toilet chip repair in Coombe Hill
A crack that leaks can’t 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. If you’re dealing with pieces knocked off during fitting and damage from dropped items, we can usually put it right, on vitreous china, cisterns & lids and pedestals alike.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, 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.

FAQs for Coombe Hill
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
What does toilet chip repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you price it without visiting?
Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Common problems we fix in Coombe Hill
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly frequently.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Damage from dropped items
What your quote should include
- What aftercare is recommended
- How soon you can use it again
- What preparation is included
- How the colour is matched
When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- 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 photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Coombe Hill
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Coombe Hill use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Repairing versus replacing in Coombe Hill
A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently 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, a professional repair is worth it.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Coombe Hill. The price comes down to:
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the entire toilet
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes an hour or two. The room is left tidy.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep a parking space free if you can
