Toilet chip repair near Addington

The process

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes an hour or two, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Missing material is filled and rebuilt to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

How we handle toilet chip repair in Addington

Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll say so if we find one. If you’re dealing with chips on the cistern lid and damage from dropped items, we can help, whatever the material.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • 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 before booking.

All of Greater London, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

What about a leaking crack?

Our hiring checklist

What toilet chip repair costs

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The colour and finish to match

Rather than charging by the hour, 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.

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your CR0 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Repair or replace in Addington?

A new toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why Addington customers choose us

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

See our prices page.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
