Toilet chip repair in and around Upper Common: a fixed quote from photos, a tidy visit and a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Pieces knocked off during fitting

How we handle toilet chip repair in Upper Common
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. We work on toilet pans, cisterns & lids and pedestals, and the jobs we see most are pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the pan or rim.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take an hour or two, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

- The glaze is colour matched and finished.
- Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.
