Toilet chip repair in Radwell without replacing anything
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that is what we find. Common call-outs are for chips on the cistern lid and chips on the pan or rim, on pedestals, toilet pans and cisterns & lids.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Radwell questions
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. 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 leave the room clean.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
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.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Repair or replace in Radwell?
A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

How we price toilet chip repair
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed price
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A photo taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
