What toilet chip repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Farringdon. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
Upload pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your EC1V postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Toilet chip repair in Farringdon without replacing anything
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. Whether it’s chips on the pan or rim and chips on the cistern lid, we can help, on cisterns & lids, pedestals and vitreous china alike.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Questions from Farringdon
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Landlord and trade work in Farringdon
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
