DIY kit or professional repair?
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, a professional repair is worth it.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Toilet chip repair in Ornsby Hill without replacing anything
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. Common call-outs are for chips on the cistern lid and chips on the pan or rim, on pedestals, porcelain and cisterns & lids.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What we can’t put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Pedestals
- Porcelain
- Toilet pans
- Vitreous china
- Cisterns & lids
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Why us?
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Same prices wherever you are
- A fixed quote before you book
