About our toilet chip repair in Nettleden
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Whether it’s chips on the cistern lid and marks on the outside of the pan, we can help, whatever the material.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Nettleden, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What we are called out for in Nettleden
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly often.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Damage from dropped items
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Chips on the pan or rim
Before you book anyone
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Who will actually do the work
- If travel is included in the price
- Aftercare advice
Repairing versus replacing in Nettleden
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
