Toilet chip repair at your home in Ratling
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Common call-outs are for chips on the pan or rim and marks on the outside of the pan, on toilet pans, porcelain and vitreous china.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Common questions in Ratling
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Do you cover the whole of Kent?
All of Kent, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
When we’d advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Vitreous china
- Porcelain
- Cisterns & lids

What affects the price in Ratling
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Ratling. The price reflects:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
The process
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes one to two hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Getting a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
