How we handle toilet chip repair in St Ann's
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. If you’re dealing with pieces knocked off during fitting and damage from dropped items, we can help, on porcelain, cisterns & lids and vitreous china alike.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Landlord and trade work in St Ann's
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Greater London and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
What toilet chip repair costs
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for St Ann's. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A picture taken from further back
Most customers in St Ann's get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take one to two hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Common problems we fix in St Ann's

Repairing versus replacing in St Ann's
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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.
