Toilet chip repair in Elephant and Castle without replacing anything
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. If you’re dealing with marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the cistern lid, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Common questions in Elephant and Castle
Do you cover the entire of Greater London?
We cover the whole UK, including Elephant and Castle and the rest of Greater London. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A picture taken from further back
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new toilet means 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. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Elephant and Castle
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Greater London and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. 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 cannot put right
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- 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 will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Vitreous china
- Porcelain
- Toilet pans
- Cisterns & lids
- Pedestals
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure 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.
