We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. We work on vitreous china, porcelain and cisterns & lids, and common reasons people contact us are pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the cistern lid.

How we price toilet chip repair
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Details of any past repairs
- A photo taken from further back
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, 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 you book.

What a repair cannot fix
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Vitreous china

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Rhodes Minnis
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Kent and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
