Trusted toilet chip repair in Blackheath

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

How we handle toilet chip repair in Blackheath

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that is what we find. We work on porcelain, pedestals and toilet pans, and common reasons people get in touch are damage from dropped items and chips on the cistern lid.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to one to two hours.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear the area around the damage

Related advice

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What we cannot put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot 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 pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Porcelain
  • Pedestals
  • Cisterns & lids
  • Vitreous china
  • Toilet pans

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • The material
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Blackheath. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the whole toilet
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • A fixed quote before booking
