About our toilet chip repair in Plumstead
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. We work on toilet pans, porcelain and vitreous china, and common reasons people get in touch are pieces knocked off during fitting and marks on the outside of the pan.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

What else we do in Plumstead
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure 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.
Repairing versus replacing in Plumstead
A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
