About our toilet chip repair in Somers Town
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that is what we find. Our technicians work on pedestals, porcelain and vitreous china, and the jobs we see most are marks on the outside of the pan and pieces knocked off during fitting.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Somers Town and across Greater London. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. 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.
What affects the price in Somers Town
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
