About our toilet chip repair in East Wickham
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. Whether it’s chips on the cistern lid and marks on the outside of the pan, we can normally put it right, on porcelain, cisterns & lids and vitreous china alike.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

How we price toilet chip repair
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
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 price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the entire toilet
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
For a price in East Wickham, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes an hour or two. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

What we can’t put right
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- 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 pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Pedestals
- Cisterns & lids
- Porcelain
- Toilet pans
- Vitreous china
Repairing versus replacing in East Wickham
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. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
