Toilet chip repair at your home in Knole
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. We work on pedestals, vitreous china and porcelain, and common reasons people get in touch are marks on the outside of the pan and pieces knocked off during fitting.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow one to two hours from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Landlord and trade work in Knole
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
Honest limits
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- 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 will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
When to call us in Knole
Toilets and cisterns typically get chipped during fitting, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids are a common casualty.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Chips on the cistern lid

FAQs for Knole
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
What affects the price in Knole
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: 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.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the entire toilet
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Upload photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your TA10 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
