Toilet chip repair in Faversham, done in place
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. We work on pedestals, toilet pans and porcelain, and people most frequently call us about chips on the pan or rim and marks on the outside of the pan.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Faversham and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

How it works

- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Before we arrive

- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the whole toilet
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Faversham
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Faversham.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Are there extra charges for Faversham?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some jobs are not right for a repair, 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)
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Toilet pans
- Pedestals
- Vitreous china
- Porcelain
- Cisterns & lids
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
