Toilet chip repair at your home in Seven Dials
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. If you are dealing with chips on the pan or rim and chips on the cistern lid, we can help, on porcelain, vitreous china and toilet pans alike.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

How we price toilet chip repair
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the entire toilet
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Questions from Seven Dials
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
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.
Are there extra charges for Seven Dials?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Repairing versus replacing in Seven Dials
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

- Damage from dropped items

What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It typically takes one to two hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- The glaze is colour matched and finished.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
