FAQs for Dulwich Village
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can a chipped toilet be fixed?
Yes. We repair chips on pans, rims, cisterns and lids.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole toilet and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
About our toilet chip repair in Dulwich Village
Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you do not 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 regularly repair toilet pans, pedestals and cisterns & lids, and the jobs we see most are chips on the cistern lid and marks on the outside of the pan.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. Repairing the chip leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What toilet chip repair costs
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Dulwich Village. The price comes down to:
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. 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.

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any details about the material
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Dulwich Village, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Can I fix it myself?
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 typically the cheaper route.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Greater London and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
