About our toilet chip repair in Headley Down
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. We regularly repair vitreous china, toilet pans and cisterns & lids, and common reasons people get in touch are chips on the cistern lid and marks on the outside of the pan.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Headley Down and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes an hour or two, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair is not 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’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Porcelain
- Vitreous china
- Cisterns & lids
- Pedestals
- Toilet pans
