It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • A crack that leaks water
  • A crack through the bowl or trap

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

Toilet chip repair in Clapham Green without replacing anything

We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so you don’t need a plumber or a new toilet. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we’ll tell you if that’s what we find. We are frequently asked to fix damage from dropped items and pieces knocked off during fitting, in vitreous china, toilet pans and pedestals.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Clapham Green. The price depends on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How much damage there is

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Clapham Green

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Clapham Green as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

How the visit works

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take one to two hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

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

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
