Toilet chip repair in The Hangers without replacing anything
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Our repair technicians work on vitreous china, toilet pans and cisterns & lids, and the jobs we see most are marks on the outside of the pan and pieces knocked off during fitting.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes one to two hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- We colour-match and finish the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price

Advice
Should you replace it?
A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
