Toilet chip repair in Kingston upon Thames, done in place
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Common call-outs are for damage from dropped items and chips on the pan or rim, across toilet pans, pedestals and porcelain.

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. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Your questions about toilet chip repair in Kingston upon Thames
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
What about a leaking crack?
No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the entire toilet
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes an hour or two for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Kingston upon Thames
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
If you manage property in Kingston upon Thames, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.
Honest limits
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)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Porcelain
- Vitreous china
