Toilet chip repair at your home in Lea
Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. We regularly repair toilet pans, vitreous china and cisterns & lids, and people most frequently call us about damage from dropped items and pieces knocked off during fitting.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Lea and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What affects the price in Lea
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Questions from Lea
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole toilet and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
How much does toilet chip repair cost in Lea?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Landlord and trade work in Lea
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.
How it works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to one to two hours, tidy-up included.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Related advice
When a repair is not the answer
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- 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 pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Toilet pans
- Porcelain
- Vitreous china
- Cisterns & lids
- Pedestals
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
