How we handle toilet chip repair in St Mary Cray
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. We are frequently asked to fix chips on the cistern lid and chips on the pan or rim, across vitreous china, porcelain and cisterns & lids.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

The process
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes one to two hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
How to get a price
Send us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your BR5 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Advice
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
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.
Common problems we fix in St Mary Cray
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids are a common casualty.
Look out for any of the following:
- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Damage from dropped items
What your quote should include
- How long it needs to cure
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How the room is protected while they work
- How changes to the job are handled
Honest limits
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Pedestals
- Vitreous china
- Cisterns & lids

Repairing versus replacing in St Mary Cray
A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why book with us
- We leave the room as we found it
- A fixed quote before you book

Questions from St Mary Cray
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How much does toilet chip repair cost in St Mary Cray?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?
No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for St Mary Cray. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
