Toilet & ceramic chip repair in Elmstead, Greater London

How we handle toilet chip repair in Elmstead
We rebuild the damaged area and match it to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. Leaking cracks need the toilet replacing, and we will say so if we find one. We regularly repair vitreous china, cisterns & lids and pedestals, and common reasons people get in touch are marks on the outside of the pan and damage from dropped items.
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 use non-abrasive cleaners on the outside of the pan and cistern.

- Damage from dropped items

Should you replace it?
A new toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Our toilet chip repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Elmstead. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Read our pricing.
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
