FAQs for Glassenbury
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
How we handle toilet chip repair in Glassenbury
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. We work on porcelain, vitreous china and pedestals, and common reasons people get in touch are pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the cistern lid.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Glassenbury and across Kent. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
When to call us in Glassenbury
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids are a common casualty.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Damage from dropped items
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
Before you book anyone
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- When it can be used again
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How the room is protected while they work
Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Pedestals
- Cisterns & lids
- Toilet pans
- Vitreous china

What toilet chip repair costs
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Glassenbury. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
How it works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to one to two hours, tidy-up included.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know which floor the room is on
