Toilet chip repair at your home in East Herrington
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that is what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. We regularly repair toilet pans, cisterns & lids and vitreous china, and common reasons people contact us are chips on the cistern lid and damage from dropped items.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What toilet chip repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Landlords, agents and businesses in East Herrington
If you manage property in East Herrington, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Honest limits
We’ll always be straight with you, 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)

Common questions in East Herrington
What information do you need?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
What does toilet chip repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do you work in East Herrington?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to East Herrington from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes an hour or two, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- 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.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
