Toilet chip repair at your home in Stapleford Tawney
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that’s what we find. We regularly repair porcelain, vitreous china and cisterns & lids, and people most often call us about chips on the pan or rim and damage from dropped items.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send pictures for a quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

When we would advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we work on in Stapleford Tawney
- Pedestals
- Toilet pans
- Porcelain
- Cisterns & lids
- Vitreous china
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Stapleford Tawney. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
