Toilet chip repair at your home in East Finchley

Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. A crack that leaks cannot be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we will say so if we find one. Whether it’s marks on the outside of the pan and chips on the cistern lid, we can help.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Avoid dropping 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 many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

How it works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes one to two hours. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  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 match the colour to the glaze.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Ask for a price

Our hiring checklist

East Finchley questions

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole toilet and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, East Finchley included. Travel is included in the price.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

When a repair isn’t the answer

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

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

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

What we work on

  • Cisterns & lids
  • Porcelain
