Toilet Chip Repair in London

How the visit works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take one to two hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice

Toilet chip repair at your home in London

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’ll say so if we find one. We work on pedestals, porcelain and toilet pans, and common reasons people get in touch are chips on the pan or rim and marks on the outside of the pan.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in London as everywhere else we work. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

FAQs for London

Does someone need to be in?

Yes, usually. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Should I repair or replace?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can you repair a chipped toilet?

Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.

Do you work for landlords and businesses in London?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders, hotels and homeowners.

Can you fix a cracked toilet that leaks?

No. A leaking crack needs the toilet replacing. We fix chips and broken pieces.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

How do I get a price for toilet chip repair in London?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a quote.

Repairing versus replacing in London

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • A crack that leaks water
  • A crack through the bowl or trap
  • A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
