What affects the price in New Herrington
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A photo taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire toilet, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
About our toilet chip repair in New Herrington
A crack that leaks cannot 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 do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Whether it’s pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the pan or rim, we can help.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Signs you need toilet chip repair in New Herrington
Toilets and cisterns usually get chipped during fitting, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids are a common casualty.
Most people contact us when they notice something like this:
- Damage from dropped items
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Chips on the cistern lid
What to look for in a quote
- How soon you can use it again
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
