  • A crack that leaks water
  • A crack through the bowl or trap
  • A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

About our toilet chip repair in Out Elmstead

A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We’re frequently asked to fix chips on the pan or rim and chips on the cistern lid, across toilet pans, cisterns & lids and pedestals.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Common questions in Out Elmstead

Do you cover the entire of Kent?

The entire UK, including all of Kent. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

What about a leaking crack?

No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do you work in Out Elmstead?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Out Elmstead. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Choosing a repair company

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

How the visit works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes an hour or two. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. The glaze is colour matched and finished.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear the area around the damage

Related advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What toilet chip repair costs

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
