Why repair rather than replace?
A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Toilet chip repair in Woodcote, done in place
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. Typical jobs include chips on the pan or rim and marks on the outside of the pan, in toilet pans, vitreous china and porcelain.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Greater London. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

How much does toilet chip repair cost in Woodcote?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your CR8 postcode.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Greater London.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Advice
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A crack that leaks water
- A crack through the bowl or trap
- A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Cisterns & lids
- Pedestals
- Toilet pans
- Vitreous china

What toilet chip repair costs
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Woodcote. The price depends on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
What we’re called out for in Woodcote
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or from a dropped lid or bottle. Cistern lids are a common casualty.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Chips on the cistern lid
- Marks on the outside of the pan
Comparing quotes
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- When it can be used again
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
