About our toilet chip repair in Mill Hill
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 say so if we find one. We work on porcelain, pedestals and cisterns & lids, and the jobs we see most are chips on the cistern lid and pieces knocked off during fitting.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Greater London. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

How we price toilet chip repair
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price.
Repair or replace: which is better?
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 leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
When to call us in Mill Hill

FAQs for Mill Hill
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do you cover Mill Hill?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Mill Hill from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What does toilet chip repair cost?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- 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 before booking.
Materials we work on in Mill Hill
- Cisterns & lids
- Vitreous china
- Pedestals
- Porcelain
- Toilet pans
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, 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.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
