Related advice
Toilet chip repair in Aldborough Hatch, done in place
Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will tell you if that is what we find. We work on cisterns & lids, pedestals and vitreous china, and people most often call us about damage from dropped items and chips on the pan or rim.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Aldborough Hatch: your questions answered
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Greater London. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’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)
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
