DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.
About our toilet chip repair in Purley on Thames
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. Whether it’s chips on the pan or rim and damage from dropped items, we can usually put it right.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Purley on Thames questions
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
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.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Do you come to Purley on Thames?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Purley on Thames and the rest of Oxfordshire. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Purley on Thames, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
How we price toilet chip repair
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the whole toilet
- Where you are, by postcode
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
Repair or replace in Purley on Thames?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why us?
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Everything repaired in place
