What we do, step by step

- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Toilet chip repair at your home in Palmarsh
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. If you’re dealing with marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the cistern lid, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Signs you need toilet chip repair in Palmarsh
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly frequently.
People generally call us after spotting one of these:
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Damage from dropped items
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
Comparing quotes
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How your room will be protected
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Should you replace it?
A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Palmarsh: your questions answered
Do you work in Palmarsh?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Palmarsh from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Are there extra charges for Palmarsh?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
What does toilet chip repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your CT21 postcode.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Palmarsh
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Palmarsh use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- 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 photos and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Porcelain
- Vitreous china

What affects the price in Palmarsh
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the entire toilet
- One sharp close-up of the damage
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole toilet, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
