Damaged toilet in Cotham? We repair it in place, mix the colour on the day and guarantee the work for a year.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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 normally the cheaper route.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
How we handle toilet chip repair in Cotham
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Typical jobs include pieces knocked off during fitting and damage from dropped items, on pedestals, toilet pans and porcelain.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What a repair cannot fix

Questions from Cotham
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
What toilet chip repair costs
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Cotham. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the whole toilet
- Details of any past repairs
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Repairing versus replacing in Cotham
A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
