About our toilet chip repair in Brentford
Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. We are often asked to fix pieces knocked off during fitting and chips on the cistern lid, on toilet pans, pedestals and cisterns & lids.
Period homes around Brentford sometimes still have original basins and toilets, which can be hard to match if replaced. Repairing keeps the original.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which usually takes an hour or two. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead. In a London neighbourhood like Brentford, we sort parking first: a visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the day run smoothly. Nothing is taken out of the property; the work happens where the toilet is.
- We clean and dry the damaged area.
- Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
- We sand it flush.
- The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Common problems we fix in Brentford
Most toilet chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids are a common casualty.

- Marks on the outside of the pan
- Chips on the pan or rim
- Pieces knocked off during fitting
- Chips on the cistern lid
Rented homes near Brentford station (in Brentford itself) change hands frequently, and repairing toilets between tenants is quicker than replacing them.

Getting a price from photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. In a London home like many in Brentford, replacing a toilet also means getting the old one out and the new one in, frequently up stairs, plus parking for the fitters and room for any waste. Toilet chip repair in place avoids all of that.
Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
