Toilet chip repair at your home in Royal Docks
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that is what we find. Whether it’s damage from dropped items and pieces knocked off during fitting, we can help.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Royal Docks and across Greater London. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
For anyone letting property in or around Royal Docks, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
What happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes an hour or two for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Open a window if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Ask for a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What we’re called out for in Royal Docks

Should you replace it?
A new toilet needs 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. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

What affects the price in Royal Docks
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Royal Docks: your questions answered
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What about a leaking crack?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
When a repair is not the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
