Toilet chip repair in Shottermill, done in place
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Our repair technicians work on toilet pans, vitreous china and cisterns & lids, and the jobs we see most are chips on the cistern lid and chips on the pan or rim.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Shottermill and across Surrey. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes one to two hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- 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.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Ensure the area is dry

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

What toilet chip repair costs
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Shottermill. The price depends on:
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the entire toilet
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole toilet, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
