Toilet chip repair in Temple Hill, done in place
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 say so if we find one. Common call-outs are for marks on the outside of the pan and damage from dropped items, in porcelain, vitreous china and toilet pans.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- One picture of the entire toilet
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
What we cannot put right
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- 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
- Cisterns & lids
- Porcelain
- Toilet pans
- Vitreous china
- Pedestals
What we are called out for in Temple Hill

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
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.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Temple Hill
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
What happens on the day
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to an hour or two.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Getting a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
