Toilet chip repair in Cranbrook without replacing anything
Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. We regularly repair pedestals, cisterns & lids and vitreous china, and common reasons people contact us are chips on the cistern lid and chips on the pan or rim.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Cranbrook and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Repairing versus replacing in Cranbrook
A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

FAQs for Cranbrook
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What else we do in Cranbrook
What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes an hour or two. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole toilet, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

What affects the price in Cranbrook
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Cranbrook. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire toilet, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
Landlord and trade work in Cranbrook
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

- Pedestals
- Cisterns & lids
