Toilet chip repair in Northfield without replacing anything
Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. Whether it’s chips on the cistern lid and damage from dropped items, we can usually put it right, on pedestals, toilet pans and cisterns & lids alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Advice
How we price toilet chip repair
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Should you replace it?
A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Landlord and trade work in Northfield
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Northfield as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
