Toilet chip repair for Acton homes

Repairing versus replacing in Acton

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. What it costs 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.

Why us?

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Toilet chip repair in Acton without replacing anything

Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. If you are dealing with chips on the cistern lid and chips on the pan or rim, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Acton and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

How to compare quotes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes one to two hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We clean and dry the damaged area.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

When a repair isn’t the answer

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t 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’ll say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair
