Toilet chip repair in Upper Ruxley without replacing anything
A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will 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 cisterns & lids, pedestals and toilet pans, and common reasons people contact us are chips on the cistern lid and chips on the pan or rim.
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.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Upper Ruxley
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Upper Ruxley as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What toilet chip repair costs
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
