Need toilet chip repair in Croydon?

Toilet chip repair in Croydon 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. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will tell you if that is what we find. We’re frequently asked to fix marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the cistern lid, across toilet pans, porcelain and pedestals.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Croydon and across Greater London. Take care with heavy items and use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have 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. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. It’s sanded flush.
  4. The glaze is colour matched and finished.
  5. The repair is polished so it blends in.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Croydon as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

How we price toilet chip repair

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Where you are, by postcode

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

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

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

When to call us in Croydon

Toilets and cisterns normally get chipped during fitting, or when something heavy is dropped. Cistern lids get chipped surprisingly often.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Marks on the outside of the pan
  • Chips on the cistern lid
  • Pieces knocked off during fitting
  • Chips on the pan or rim

What your quote should include

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How to look after the finish
  • How the room is protected while they work

Choosing a repair company

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and possibly new flooring, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
