Toilet chip repair in Charlton, done in place

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 will say so if we find one. Our repair technicians work on vitreous china, porcelain and cisterns & lids, and common reasons people get in touch are chips on the pan or rim and pieces knocked off during fitting.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Charlton and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Repairing versus replacing in Charlton

A new toilet means a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why book with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • One visit for most repairs

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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

What a repair cannot fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A crack that leaks water
  • A crack through the bowl or trap
  • A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take one to two hours.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand the repair level.
  4. We colour-match and finish the glaze.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Choosing a repair company

What toilet chip repair costs

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • How much damage there is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once

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 make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
