Toilet chip repair at your home in Addington

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. Our repair technicians work on pedestals, cisterns & lids and toilet pans, and the jobs we see most are chips on the pan or rim and chips on the cistern lid.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Addington questions

Can a chipped toilet be fixed?

Yes. Chips to the pan, rim, cistern and lid are the most common jobs.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Do you come to Addington?

We do. We send a technician to Addington for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What about a leaking crack?

No. That needs a new toilet. We repair cosmetic chips and breaks.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, 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 doing several items at once reduces it.

Why Addington customers choose us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • One visit for most repairs

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

The process

We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take one to two hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

Email us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your PL14 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
