About our toilet chip repair in Pollards Hill
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. Our repair technicians work on toilet pans, porcelain and vitreous china, and the jobs we see most are chips on the pan or rim and pieces knocked off during fitting.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Questions from Pollards Hill
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.
What about a leaking crack?
No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Greater London, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

What toilet chip repair costs
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
- A picture taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
If you manage property in Pollards Hill, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
