Toilet chip repair in West Cross, done in place
Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We regularly repair cisterns & lids, porcelain and pedestals, and people most frequently call us about chips on the cistern lid and chips on the pan or rim.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in West Cross and across Kent. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for West Cross. The price reflects:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- 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, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes one to two hours.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- It’s sanded flush.
- The glaze is colour matched and finished.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
How to prepare
- Make sure the area is dry
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available

West Cross questions
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
What about a leaking crack?
No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

When a repair isn’t the answer

- 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.
