Toilet chip repair in Seven Dials without replacing anything
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it 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 generally put it right, whatever the material.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What a repair can’t fix
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

What else we do in Seven Dials
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

How we price toilet chip repair
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the entire toilet
- Details of any past repairs
Most clients in Seven Dials get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Common questions in Seven Dials
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Seven Dials, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
