Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Toilet chip repair in Ruxley without replacing anything
Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. We are often asked to fix chips on the pan or rim and chips on the cistern lid, in pedestals, porcelain and cisterns & lids.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Greater London. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Ruxley: your questions answered
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Do you come to Ruxley?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Ruxley. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
What about a leaking crack?
No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.
What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes one to two hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Point us to the nearest place to park

What affects the price in Ruxley
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
- A photo taken from further back
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

What we cannot put right
To be straight with you, 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)
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Cisterns & lids
- Vitreous china
- Porcelain
- Toilet pans
- Pedestals
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Why book with us
- One price list for the whole UK
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
