Toilet chip repair at your home in Turfdown
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Typical jobs include pieces knocked off during fitting and marks on the outside of the pan, in toilet pans, cisterns & lids and porcelain.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Most customers in Turfdown get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
Common problems we fix in Turfdown
Toilets and cisterns typically get chipped during fitting, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids are a common casualty.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Marks on the outside of the pan

- Chips on the pan or rim
- Damage from dropped items
Questions to ask before you book

- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How to look after the finish
- When it can be used again
What we can’t put right
We won’t 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 pictures and we’ll say what we think.
