About our toilet chip repair in Merton
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. We work on toilet pans, porcelain and vitreous china, and common reasons people get in touch are chips on the pan or rim and chips on the cistern lid.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Norfolk. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Merton questions
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can you repair a chipped toilet?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, and that includes Merton. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

What toilet chip repair costs
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Merton. The price depends on:
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- A wider photo showing the whole toilet
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for an hour or two from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price
If you are in Merton and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?
