Related advice
Toilet chip repair at your home in Merton
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that is what we find. If you’re dealing with chips on the pan or rim and marks on the outside of the pan, we can normally put it right, on porcelain, vitreous china and pedestals alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Repairing versus replacing in Merton
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Why us?
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- A fixed quote before you book
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Honest advice, even when it means no job

When to call us in Merton
Toilets and cisterns generally get chipped during fitting, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly often.
The things clients generally mention when they call are:
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Damage from dropped items
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Marks on the outside of the pan
What to look for in a quote
- How to care for the finish
- How soon you can use it again
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Your questions about toilet chip repair in Merton
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, so Merton is covered. Prices do not change with location.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
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 price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.
What we can’t put right
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- 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 photos and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Porcelain
- Pedestals
- Vitreous china

How we price toilet chip repair
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the entire toilet
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
