Fixed-price toilet chip repair in Selsted and the surrounding area, usually in one visit and guaranteed for a year.

How we handle toilet chip repair in Selsted
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. If you’re dealing with marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the pan or rim, we can help, on vitreous china, porcelain and cisterns & lids alike.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Selsted and everywhere else. 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.

When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, 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)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Cisterns & lids
- Porcelain
- Vitreous china
- Pedestals
- Toilet pans
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Kent and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
What we’re called out for in Selsted
Toilets and cisterns normally get chipped during fitting, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly often.
Look out for these signs:
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Damage from dropped items
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Chips on the pan or rim

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Selsted. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
