Toilet chip repair in Mills Hill without replacing anything
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that is what we find. Our technicians work on toilet pans, cisterns & lids and porcelain, and the jobs we see most are chips on the pan or rim and chips on the cistern lid.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Mills Hill questions
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Mills Hill included. Travel is included in the price.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.
Quotes from your photos
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A picture taken from further back
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole toilet, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
