Toilet chip repair in Sutton Common, done in place
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that is what we find. Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We’re frequently asked to fix pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the cistern lid, across pedestals, toilet pans and vitreous china.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- 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 pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Vitreous china
- Porcelain
- Cisterns & lids
- Toilet pans
- Pedestals
