How we handle toilet chip repair in Selling
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 will tell you if that is what we find. We are frequently asked to fix chips on the pan or rim and chips on the cistern lid, across toilet pans, porcelain and vitreous china.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Should you replace it?
A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Selling. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Selling use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes one to two hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Selling: your questions answered
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
Do you work in Selling?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Selling and the rest of Kent. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What about a leaking crack?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do you cover the whole of Kent?
We cover the entire UK, including Selling and the rest of Kent. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
What we can’t put right
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- 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 before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Vitreous china
- Cisterns & lids
- Pedestals
- Porcelain
- Toilet pans
What toilet chip repair costs
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the whole toilet
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price.
