Toilet chip repair at your home in Upstreet
A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. If you are dealing with marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the pan or rim, we can usually put it right, on toilet pans, pedestals and cisterns & lids alike.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Upstreet
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
If you manage property in Upstreet, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
What affects the price in Upstreet
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the whole toilet
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Signs you need toilet chip repair in Upstreet

- Damage from dropped items

- Marks on the outside of the pan
What to look for in a quote
- What happens if they find more damage
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How the room is protected while they work
How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes an hour or two. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
- We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- We match the colour to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Getting a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole toilet, we can price the job without visiting.
Advice
Places near Upstreet
What else we do in Upstreet
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Questions from Upstreet
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Do you come to Upstreet?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Upstreet from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
What about a leaking crack?
No. That needs a new toilet. We fix chips and broken pieces.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- 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 will say what we think before you book.
