Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Toilet chip repair in Earl's Court without replacing anything
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Whether it’s chips on the cistern lid and damage from dropped items, we can help, whatever the material.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- 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’ll say what we think before you book.

Landlord and trade work in Earl's Court
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.
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.
What we’re called out for in Earl's Court
Toilets and cisterns usually get chipped during fitting, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly frequently.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Chips on the cistern lid
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- If travel is included in the price
- How to care for the finish
- How changes to the job are handled
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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 work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the whole toilet
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
