Repairing versus replacing in Holborn
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. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Why us?
- No need to remove anything
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Same prices wherever you are

Toilet chip repair at your home in Holborn
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. If you are dealing with marks on the outside of the pan and damage from dropped items, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow an hour or two from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Open a window if you can

Advice
What affects the price in Holborn
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Your questions about toilet chip repair in Holborn
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
What about a leaking crack?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
What a repair cannot fix
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- 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 before you book.
