DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
Toilet chip repair in Harlington, done in place
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We are often asked to fix chips on the cistern lid and damage from dropped items, in porcelain, toilet pans and pedestals.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What toilet chip repair costs
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
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.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
For a price in Harlington, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
For landlords and businesses
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
The process
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes an hour or two, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire toilet, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
