What toilet chip repair costs
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to River. The price comes down to:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- The material, if you know it
- A photo taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Toilet chip repair in River 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. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. Typical jobs include chips on the pan or rim and damage from dropped items, on vitreous china, pedestals and cisterns & lids.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Common questions in River
Do you work in River?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to River for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do you cover the entire of Kent?
Across the UK, so River is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
What a repair cannot fix
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- 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.
Materials we work on in River
- Vitreous china
- Pedestals
- Toilet pans
- Porcelain
- Cisterns & lids
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Repair or replace in River?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for River. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
