Toilet chip repair at your home in Rochester
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We are often asked to fix pieces knocked off during fitting and marks on the outside of the pan, on vitreous china, cisterns & lids and toilet pans.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.
Rochester questions
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of Medway. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
What does toilet chip repair cost?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
What affects the price in Rochester
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Rochester. What changes the price is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
Getting a price from photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A picture taken from further back
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new toilet needs 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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What we are called out for in Rochester
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly frequently.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

- Chips on the cistern lid
- Pieces knocked off during fitting

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.
