How we handle toilet chip repair in Soho
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Typical jobs include chips on the cistern lid and chips on the pan or rim, on porcelain, pedestals and vitreous china.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Soho: your questions answered
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Soho.

For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
For anyone letting property in or around Soho, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Repairing versus replacing in Soho
A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What affects the price in Soho
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A photo taken from further back
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

How the visit works

- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand the repair level.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Getting a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire toilet, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
